Yup, 755 means owner can read, write, execute; group and others can read and execute.

I thought it was drwxr-xr-x, but that's for directories, right?

It's definitely --rwxr-xr-x for 755!

I feel like the answer should have three sets of permissions, but I can't remember if the owner gets read, write, and execute or just read and execute.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe 755 translates to rwx for the owner and rx for the group and others.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the first digit representing the file type.

I think the permissions for octal 755 should start with a dash, since it's a regular file, right?

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. The octal mode 755 translates to the symbolic permissions --rwx-r---r--. Let me quickly verify that before submitting.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Isn't a regular file represented by a dash (-) at the beginning of the permissions string? I'll double-check the details on that.

Okay, I've got this. The octal mode 755 means the file has read, write, and execute permissions for the owner, and read and execute permissions for the group and others. So the symbolic permissions should be -rwxr-xr-x.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the octal to symbolic permissions conversion carefully.

Is this a question about file permissions or a secret code to unlock the nuclear launch codes?

755? Easy, that's -rwxr-xr-x! Option A is the correct answer.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer is C) --rwx-r---r-- because the owner has read, write, and execute permissions, while group and others only have read permissions.

I agree with Glory, because 755 means read, write, and execute permissions for the owner, and read and execute permissions for group and others.
