Permission denied with 0660 when using cd

us flag

I have a directory:

drw-rw---- 2 myuser somegroup 4096 Jul 26 20:04 share

Which I also made myself (myuser) the owner of. However if I try to move into this directory with cd I get:

-bash: cd: share: Permission denied

I'm not a linux guru but shouldn't I have access with these permissions? What am I doing wrong?

Run the command `chmod +x share`

As comments say, apparently I'm really a noob and to enter a directory and list files one need execute privs on said directory.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
