To grant all permissions to a file in Linux, you can use the chmod command. The chmod command changes the permissions of a file to the specified mode.

To grant all permissions to the owner, group members, and others, you can use the numeric “777” mode. Here is the basic syntax:

sudo chmod 777 file_name

For example, to grant all permissions to a file called “example.txt”, you could use the following command:

sudo chmod 777 example.txt

Note that giving all permissions to a file can be a security risk, and you should be careful when using the chmod command.
