[SLUG] Can't enter a directory after unzipping it
I have downloaded the source code for Java Cookbook from O'Reilly (fabulous book!) but am having strange things happen when I UNZIP the source. After unzipping two directories are created in the current directory one called META-INF and the javacook. When I 'ls -la' it says that I am the owner and that the group is correct. Also the permissions are set OK... lonewolf: /usr/local/java/books $ lsa total 1528 4 drwxr-sr-x4 sjw staff4096 Oct 24 23:23 . 4 drwxr-sr-x4 sjw staff4096 Oct 24 22:57 .. 4 drw-r--r--2 sjw staff4096 Oct 13 19:22 META-INF 4 drw-r--r-- 43 sjw staff4096 Oct 13 19:21 javacook 1512 -rw-rw-r--1 sjw staff 1542109 Oct 24 23:14 javacooksrc.zip But when I try and cd into either of the directories I get an error: lonewolf: /usr/local/java/books $ cd javacook bash: cd: javacook: Permission denied lonewolf: /usr/local/java/books $ As root I can go into the directories and the contents are all there. Also, when I use tab completion it lists the files too. How do I get into that directory?

quote who=Simon Wong 4 drw-r--r-- 43 sjw staff4096 Oct 13 19:21 javacook How do I get into that directory? chmod -R a+x javacook The execute bits on the directory are not set, the result of which is that no one is allowed to enter it. If you add the execute bit for all, the ls -la will look like this: 4 drwxr-xr-x 43 sjw staff4096 Oct 13 19:21 javacook Which is what you want. :) - Jeff -- What does an underage calf drink?

So, if I only want to change the execute bit on the directories and not
on any files in there...what tricky command could I use??
I was thinking of using find with -exec chmod but it doesn't look like
it can only find directories?
Oh, good call. The one I offered was a very casual way of doing it, now I
realise. ;)
find -type d -exec chmod a+x {} ;

Cool but you need to escape the ;
Not sure why that is?
Works a treat...the more I learn about Lin/Unix the more I like it :-)
Thanks guys...

Re: [SLUG] Can't enter a directory after unzipping it
Simon Wong was once rumoured to have said: So, if I only want to change the execute bit on the directories and not on any files in there...what tricky command could I use?? You can do this using GNU chmod. chmod -R u+X path This will tell chmod to set +x on all the directories, or any file with any execute bit set. of course, thats specific to GNU chown, and won't work on any other chown. I was thinking of using find with -exec chmod but it doesn't look like it can only find directories? You can find directories using the '-type d' predicate.

For any user except the root user to enter a directory, that user must
have the execute bit set at the relavent permission level {user, group or
other}.
In your case, you have
drw-r--r-- 43 sjw staff 4096 Oct 13 19:21 javacook
Note that in none of the three permission groups is the execute bit set.
To allow access to everyone, you need to do this {as either root or sjw}
chmod 755 javacook
ls -l will then show you
drwxr-xr-x 43 sjw staff 4096 Oct 13 19:21 javacook
and you'll be able to enter the directory.

The semicolon marks the end of the chmod command. You have to escape it
so bash doesn't interpret it as the end of the find command.

That's why it's cool!
