wild guess: set the execute permissions to that file. The OS does not know, that your file is to be executed.
do a "chmod 755 XXX" in the console, with XXX is your filename. This will make it readable and executable for anybody.
That would be my guess too. But for learning Unix file permissions, I would not start off not using the octal codes, instead use the shorthand like this
chmod +x file -- makes xecutable for owner chmod o+x file -- makes xecutable for others chmod a+x file -- makes xecutable for all chmod +r file -- makes readable for owner chmod o+r file -- makes readable for others chmod a+r file -- makes readable for all chmod +w file -- makes writable for owner chmod o+w file -- makes writable for others chmod a+w file -- makes writable for all
substitute - for + to remove the permission instead of adding it.
Fortunately Unix window mgr/ desktop software now usually has a file browser that can set file permissions by clicking too.
