chmod 711 — what rwx--x--x means

711 rwx--x--x

The owner has full access; the group and others can execute (enter) but cannot read the listing.

Permission breakdown

When to use 711

Directories you want others to pass through to reach a known file, without being able to list its contents. Used on home directories on shared hosts so users can reach a public_html folder but can't browse each other's files.

Set it with chmod

Apply this permission to a file:

chmod 711 filename

Or apply it recursively to a directory and everything inside it:

chmod -R 711 directory/

Other common permissions

Or build any permission with the interactive chmod calculator.
