CHMOD - Letters to numbers

chmod a+rx = what number?

[PFOnline]

Hi, I'm about to install a perl script and it says to CHMOD "a+rx" but my FTP doesn't go by CHMOD letters, but rather numbers. (Such as CHMOD 777)

Are there any tools where I can enter the letters "a+rx" and it will tell me what CHMOD number it is?

Or can anyone just tell me what the chmod a+rx number is? ;)

Thanks!

from my own cheatsheet for ws-ftp:

chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx)
chmod 755 (-rwxr-xr-x)
chmod 666 (-rw-rw-rw-)

WSFTP Set permissions:

7 = 3 checkboxes read-write-execute
6 = 2 checkboxes read-write
5 = 2 checkboxes read-execute

Thanks all!

OOps! So a+rx = 755?

Sorry PFOnline.

LOL Macguru, I was trying 777 and wondering why it wasn't working! ;) I'll change it to 755. Thanks!

Added: Yep it was 755, cause it works now. :)

Another question: (this is about the script I just installed... maybe this warranted a new topic but I'll just post it here)...

Does Google follow links that look like this:
