In this article, we will discuss the differences between CHMOD and CHOWN<\/a> and how to use them.\u00a0In addition, there are also some things you need to know why CHMOD and CHOWN are important.\u00a0Before that, you can first read a brief explanation about Linux and the command text.<\/p>\n

Linux is an operating system that is already familiar today.\u00a0These operating systems mostly use text commands to install, move and copy files, or operate them.\u00a0There are many basic linux commands, but there are two commands that are often used that are important to know, namely CHMOD and CHOWN.<\/p>\n

CHMOD and CHOWN are widely used to set permissions and ownership of files and folders in Linux.\u00a0At first glance, the two commands have the same function, but they don’t.\u00a0In order to more clearly understand the difference between CHMOD and CHOWN, we will discuss it in this article in full.<\/p>\n

Basic Access and Ownership Rights on Linux<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Linux is an operating system similar to Unix in that every file and folder has an\u00a0owner<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0group<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0While\u00a0others is<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0used for users who are not the owner and are not in the same group.<\/p>\n

All files in Linux have three types of users (sometimes called classes) above.\u00a0The three classes describe what commands can\/can be applied to a file.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n
owner<\/strong><\/td>\nAll users who create and own files\/directories.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
group<\/strong><\/td>\nAll users are members of the same group.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
others<\/strong><\/td>\nAll other users in the system who are not owners or members of a group.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

Commands that can be done in Linux are:\u00a0read<\/strong>\u00a0(the ability to open and view files),\u00a0write<\/strong>\u00a0(the ability to open and modify files), and\u00a0execute<\/strong>\u00a0(the ability to execute program files).<\/p>\n

So in the management of permissions (access rights or ownership) in Linux.\u00a0All\u00a0owner<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0group<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0, and\u00a0others<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0classes\u00a0can\u00a0read<\/em>\u00a0,\u00a0write<\/em>\u00a0, or\u00a0execute.\u00a0<\/em>It’s just a matter of how we manage it on a file or folder.<\/p>\n

Difference between CHMOD and CHOWN<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In simple terms, there is the most basic difference between chmod and chown, which is based on their function.<\/p>\n

\"CHOWN\"<\/p>\n

Chown<\/strong>\u00a0is a Linux command that comes from the abbreviation of the\u00a0ch<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0ange\u00a0<\/em>own<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0er<\/em>\u00a0(change mode).\u00a0This command is used to change the ownership of a file or folder to a specific user.\u00a0The goal is that only the user who owns the file or folder can open it.<\/p>\n

For example, there is a folder or file named\u00a0A<\/strong>\u00a0which was previously owned by the jaems <\/b>user\u00a0, then the chown command is executed and ownership is given to a new user named james<\/b>. After being replaced, then folder A changed ownership to james<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chmod<\/strong>\u00a0a Linux command whose name is derived from the word\u00a0ch<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0ange\u00a0<\/em>mod<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0e<\/em>\u00a0(change mode).\u00a0This command is used to change the mode of a file or folder.\u00a0There are three types of access rights that are usually used by\u00a0chmod<\/strong>\u00a0and their symbols, namely:<\/p>\n
