How do you chmod 744? Like, I know chmod 755 is rwxr-xr-x
I'm new to this stuff

744 is:
rwxr--r--

owner: read, write, execute
group: read
all: read

Just using 'chmod 744 <file>' in a shell interface will change the permissions properly for you.

just remeber it like this..

r = 4
w = 2
x = 1

say you want 666

r + w = 6
r + w = 6
r + w = 6

644

r + w = 6
r = 4
r = 4

etc..
