The List Remote Files Action will list only files whose permissions match the permissions settings. Each permission setting supports 3 states. By default, all file permissions are ignored, which means that all files will be listed irrespective of their permissions. When users choose to filter files based on set or unset permissions, only the files matching the specified permissions will be listed.
Files and directories in Linux have a standard set of access permissions that control which files can be accessed by whom.
There are different sets of permissions for the file and directory owner, group, and other users. Each set consists of read, write, and execute permissions, as well as a special permissions set (i.e., set user ID, set group ID, and sticky bit).
