You should have it right in your shell account.
Do 'man chmod' for the manual pages on it.

That'll be the case if the file is world readable, but the
directory isn't.
IOW, within this directory,
drwxr-x--x 8 crow stackman 4096 Dec 2 09:20 crow
resides this file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 crow crow 2922 May 19 2000 menu
Ginger can read "menu" as long as she knows the filename.
'cat /home/crow/menu' will show Ginger the contents of the file.
'cat /home/crow/m???' will get a "no such file" error.
'ls /home/crow' will get a "permission denied" error.
