First you might want to make sure you *really* want to set world writable perms.
There might be a better way to do this, but you could try using the find command,
redirecting the
output into xargs chmod eg
find /home/httpd/html -depth -type d | xargs chmod 777
If you have any directories or files with spaces in the names, you'll want to throw
the results of
find thru a sed filter that would wrap each filename in doublequotes:
find /home/httpd/html -depth -type d | sed 's/^.*$/"&"/' | xargs chmod 777
In order to change the perms on the files to 755 just modify the file type in find to
f and change
your perms, of course:
find /home/httpd/html -depth -type f | sed 's/^.*$/"&"/' | xargs chmod 755
