I have a file, I want it to be marked read, write, execute for all.
I have tried the chmod command, but it doesnt do anything?
e@sx:/media/e/XXX$ ls -al
-rw-r--r-- 1 e e 34336 Apr 15 18:08 2048.uze
e@sx:/media/e/XXX$ chmod a+rwx 2048.uze
e@sx:/media/e/XXX$ ls -al
-rw-r--r-- 1 e e 34336 Apr 15 18:08 2048.uze
e@sx:/media/e/XXX$ chmod a+rwx 2048.uze
e@sx:/media/e/XXX$ sudo chmod a+rwx 2048.uze
[sudo] password for e:
e@sx:/media/e/XXX$ ls -al
-rw-r--r-- 1 e e 34336 Apr 15 18:08 2048.uze
what am I doing wrong?
/media/ea FAT or NTFS drive? if so, see How do I use 'chmod' on an NTFS (or FAT32) partition? – steeldriver Apr 15 '17 at 22:21chmodfailure is either a read-only filesystem, or a filesystem which cannot represent UNIX file modes. – AlexP Apr 15 '17 at 22:55
