To give a better answer, when I enter the command this is what I get:

:~$ faToTwoBit

faToTwoBit - Convert DNA from fasta to 2bit format

usage:

   faToTwoBit in.fa [in2.fa in3.fa ...] out.2bit

options:

   -noMask        Ignore lower-case masking in fa file.

   -stripVersion  Strip off version number after '.' for GenBank accessions.

   -ignoreDups    Convert first sequence only if there are duplicate sequence

                  names.  Use 'twoBitDup' to find duplicate sequences.

Yes and i even chmodded it to 777 for testing purposes. When I run it
I get the option overview of the tool. I can't copy that right now
(out of office) but the application works as I also 2bitted a genome.
