An awesome Chmod Calculator to convert Linux file permissions between different formats.

Chmod Calculator

chmod gou+rxx what’s so hard?
g = group
o = other
u = user
plus for add, minus for remove
(formatter is not letting me write what I want to write in this comment)
r = read
w = write
x = execute

Good stuff, but I wish it would help to calculate setuid/setgid/sticky bit with a simple explanation of each (I’m still not comfortable with those 3).
