You can't cd or ls in a folder if you have no +x permissions on it. That is all. I wasted 3 hours of my life.

More than a decade of using linux and I still can't remember
setfaclsyntax. I have better luck rememberingtarsyntax.-
tar -xzfextract ze file-
And
tar -czfcompress ze file. I saw someone post these mnemonic devices a while back and now I actually remember tar commands. Amazing! -
This is a very useful way to remember it, but nowadays it's better to drop the z (which immediately makes the mnemonic more forgettable, of course). tar can autodetect compression now, so
tar -xfshould work on anything from plain tar archives over tar.gz to more unusual compression algorithms like tar.xz or tar.bz2.(the z is specifically for gzip)

You don't even need the dash (
-).
