    This means that you, on your machine, have permission to do anything
you want with this directory, but nobody else can even read it.  Try

chmod -R a+r the-directory-pathname

to make the directory and all its contents readable (but not writeable) by
everyone.  Or do

chmod -R a+rw the-directory-pathname

to make the directory and its contents both readable and writeable by
everyone.  Try "man chmod" for more information on the chmod
command.
