Thread: Permission denied

i want write c programs geany memory stick. after program saved stick, compiles ok permission denied when try run it. have tried right click on file , go permission properties , check box marked "execute" not stay checked.

i'm not sure how use command line go file on memory stick , try chmod.

try this:

code:

 chmod 777 'path/to/file'

remove qoutes , put in full path file, example chmod 777 /media/stick/file

777 read/write/execute might want try longer version of rwxr--r-- read write execute owner, read groups , other users.

way, first number owner of file, second number groups file linked , third number others is, well, others.

7 rwx , breakdown number 1 execute, 2 write , 4 read... add ones want together.

(if remember correctly)
