First thing that springs to mind is; Run["chmod a+x some-file"] A couple of other things spring to mind; 1. Make sure that SetDirectory has been used prior to Run or specify the full path to the file. 2. The command above will return the status code of the operation, 0 for success. If you get anything else then something went awry. 3. You can Run["ls -al"] to check the permissions. But note, that you will not get anything in the Notebook interface. You will need to redirect the output of "ls -al", i.e. Run["ls -al > tmp.out"] or similar, then read it into the Mathematica notebook however you please.
