This is neccessary for some UNIX servers and PHP.

Unix Permissions Widget allows users to easily figure out the binary equivalent of permissions for files and directories.

This tool provides the binary equivalent of read, write, and execute privileges.

The resulting numbers can then be used with the command-line tools chmod, chown, and chgrp to modify file and directory permissions.

The UNIX Permission Calculator lets you convert between different representations of UNIX-style permissions: The numerical style, the textual style and a set of checkboxes as they are often found in FTP applications.

This widget is based on an OSX application I made a while back. The web page also contains a bit of usage information which equally applies to the widget version. The application version is incidentally based on a web based version I made a long long time ago.

VuMan is a Mac OS X graphical user interface to the main system of Unix software documentation, the man page. Man pages are concise but thorough descriptions of the functionality and methods of the various Unix command-line programs; there may be hundreds of such programs installed on a Unix or Linux system.
Man pages are typically accessed in the Unix terminal by typing the phrase "man program," with "program" being the specific name of the Unix tool you are trying to learn more about. VuMan provides a friendlier interface to the Unix man page system. It links together a number of Unix command-line tools to make searching, reading, and printing man page documentation a simple task.
Enhancements:
- Better visual feedback from toolbar buttons.
- Upgrades of supporting libraries to latest versions.
