A short explanation about chmod:
Chmod (short for change mode) is the command which allow to change access right on files and folders. It's a Unix command, it didn't exist on Windows. By abuse of language we use the term to describe the chmod permissions to a file or directory
The value associated with a chmod is mostly given by a 3 digits number:
-the first digit describe the rights for the owner of the file
-the second digit describe the rights for the group of the owner of the file
-the third digit is for all the other users (everybody in fact).
