RE: How to give commands to Linux

[Manisha <manisha aurica com>]

Thanks for your response,

Yes, I can see GNOME. But I can give read/write/execute permission to only 
one individual file (by right click  the file - properties). But I need to 
give permission to directory, how to do it ?

I also found a command line option - terminal (some thing like DOS)

I changed the directory to my directory and gave chmod - but it is saying 
too few arguments.

Basically I want that if through PHP I give command for open file in  write 
mode and if file does not exists it should create it and write into it. My 
file is not getting created at all as directory seems to be not allowing it.
