Directory's permissions are 0700 (means that only the user, root, has full permissions). The directory '/tmp' has permissions 'drwxrwxrwt' and is owned by root:root. I created a directory '/tmp/OO' with permissions 'drwx------' which is owned by root:root. Inside the directory '/tmp/OO' there are two files: $ sudo ls -la /tmp/OO total 16 drwx------ 2 root root 80 Oct 6 13:39 . drwxrwxrwt 17 root root 400 Oct 6 13:54 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 8503 Oct 6 13:16 FILE.ods -rwxrw-r-- 1 root root 64 Oct 6 13:20 run.sh I open Nautilus in '/tmp' and click on the arrow (of Tree View) for '/tmp/OO' and successfully manages to see the file 'run.sh' inside (but cannot see the file 'FILE.ods'). I expected that I won't be able to see *any* file, since that the eXecute permission of the directory '/tmp/OO' is absent for Other. Ubuntu release 16.04.
