change permissions in ubuntu on folders/files
#1
I wanted to change permissions on my external drives that are mounted however I have tried by sudo nautilus and then going to gui and permissions and changing it however it does not let me.

I ran the ls -l and get
drwx------ 1 xbmc xbmc

the gui shows below.


owner xbmc
folder access create and delete files
file access ---

Group xbmc
folder access none
file access ---

others
folder access none
file access ---

how can I change it so that everyone has permission to access the drive and folders/files inside of it. I am trying to get plexmedia server running and I cant see my drives via the webpage to add it to my source.
