You can’t cd or ls in a folder if you have no +x permissions on it. That is all. I wasted 3 hours of my life.

You can also do chmod +x to add the executable bit to whatever the existing perms are.

0: no permissions
+4: read
+2: write
+1: execute

I often go chmod -R go+rX . if I want to give read-only access to whatever I’m working on to everyone else. The capital X only sets the executable bit on directories.
