Ok, first need to undertand the permissions on UBUNTU.

Exist 3 types of permission, Write (w) , Read(r) an Execute(x). To change that, need a command called CHMOD, and use like this:

$ chmod +r "folder"

thats make your folder for READ to all users, and you can check files permissions by doing:

$ ls -al

The results show something like:

-rwxr--r-- thats meen: ROOT = rwx, Group = r, Others = r,

I hope this help. If not... askme again.

Can you help with this problem?
