CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 238

A user is unable to access certain files from a specific folder. Which of the following commands should a technician use to modify the file permissions for a specific file?

Answer options

• A. chown
• B. ls
• C. grep
• D. cp

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct command is 'chown', which is used to change the ownership of a file, thereby modifying its permissions. The 'ls' command lists files and directories but does not alter permissions. 'grep' is used for searching text within files, and 'cp' is for copying files, not for changing permissions.
