setting security bits on UNIX

[Ned]

Hi all,

I don't know how to take off protection from one of my files
Tried umask 022, umask 0, etc, nothing works. The chmod command didn't work either. I don't know the values that I need to put in.
The ls -l fileName command should give me:
-rwxr-xr-x
but not all dashes as it does now.
It's an html file that needs to be read and executed by anybody.
Please help.

Many thanks in advance!
Ned
