cytoscape

It means exactly what it says, excluding the incorrect placement of a space. A quick ls -l and knowledge of how Unix file permissions work should answer this.

BTW, this is a Unix/Linux question.

As Devon said, you can check the user permissions by using the command ​ls -lh. And if you are the owner, you can change the permissions of the file/directory using the command chmod.

The following command should set permissions such that the owner of the file/directory is able to read, write and execute it, while other group members and others will be able to read and execute it respectively.

chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx filename

or simply,

chmod 755 filename

This command is for linux? But I use Windows

Always mention that you're using Windows, that's unusual enough that people will never give appropriate advice otherwise. Anyway, see here.

Thanks for your reply
