Great screencast addi! Loving these little ones. Helps refresh the memory on some of these command line commands. Normally I just use:
chmod 777 ...
and not like
chmod o+r ...
Never knew about that way of doing things.

numbers vs letters

Thanks! I actually have always used the number system myself but I figured the letters are more intuitive and a *lot* easier for people to learn. I had originally intended to at least talk about the number system but the video was already over length (I try to do all my vids under 15 minutes as a rule) and I thought it might end up causing more confusion anyway. Glad you found it informative!

Hi.
These command line tutorials are great. Many thanks.

One problem: of the series only this one video--on permissions--throws an error: "Your browser is not able to display...." Is there something set differently about this page?
