chmod Calculator client-side ?
How to use chmod CalculatorThe chmod calculator converts Unix/Linux file permissions between octal and symbolic notation. Tick read (r), write (w) and execute (x) for owner, group and others, and instantly get the octal value (for example 755), the symbolic notation (rwxr-xr-x) and the ready-to-copy chmod command. You can also type an octal number to see the matching permissions. The special setuid, setgid and sticky bits are supported. Handy so you never mix up 644 and 755 again.
