FAQ

How is the octal number calculated?

Read=4, write=2, execute=1 are summed per owner/group/others digit. Example: rwx r-x r-x → 755.

What do 755 and 644 mean?

755 gives the owner full access and others read+execute (common for dirs/scripts); 644 is owner read+write and others read (regular files).

Is my input sent to a server?

No. All calculations happen entirely in your browser.
