I'm not sure of your question, but the 775 number is an octal code for
setting the permission on the file or dir. And it goes something like
this: 400 owner permission to read
200 owner perm to write
100 owner perm to exec
an so it goes for 40/20/10 for group members and 4/2/1 for other (the
rest of the world)
