Somebody please clarify.

Read = User can Read the content (text file can be opened, so you can read it but you can not write (edit it)

 

read/write = user can open text file and type in it. write also means that you can also remove the whole file by default (exceptions can be made by using sticky bits in Linux or giving other permissions in Windows)

 

Execute = well you can execute it. Needs to be EXE file or any other executable (file needs executable bit in Linux)

 

Owner/full control = Has all the permissions above but can also grant permission to others

 

 

 

Overkill explanation but those where the most important permissions, :P

Think of it like a book.

You're reading words on a page, or you're writing onto the page.
