Unix Super Tip: How to CHMOD all your files recursively

| No Comments »

Problem: How do I set permissions to my files and/or directories without manually setting them up individually?

Note: You may need administrator privileges for these to work, if that’s the case simply add a sudo before typing the commands below.

If you want to chmod all your directories:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

and for files:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

That’s it!
