[ILUG] CHMOD

[Alan Ryan]

Just in case.....

 chmod-R 777 folder


this give *RWXRWXRWX* permissions to everything underneath 'folder',  that
may not be what you are looking to do!

You can use the find command to exercise some control over what gets
modified

...e.g.*
**
find . ! -type f -exec chmod a+w {} \;*

find everything that is not a file and make it writeable.... i.e make all
dirs writeable ...

double check that before you execute it!!!!  Permissions are nasty things
when they go awry..
