moving folders

[larry price]

CLI way:
chmod [mode] [path]

where mode can be specified numerically (read the man page)
or in human readable format, 

u user
g group 
o other
+/- add or remove
r read
w write
x eXecute

you need to specify 1 or more of u,g, or o a + or - and one or more of r,w,x

pitfalls: directories must be executable to the user trying to access
them, since listing a directory is considered executing it.

The GUI way (Nautilus):

Navigate to the file or folder you want to act on, right click and
select Properties from the menu,  Open the permissions tab. Change
