Hi Slugs,
I'm still working on this but any quick help i'll welcome.
how do you recursively chmod directories only and not files.
I want to recursively chmod files to 644 and directories to 755.
what is the quickest way?
I thought i'd do the files first and then the dirs as in...
chmod -R 644 * (for files and directories)
chmod ??? for directories only?
For the directories use something like:
find <top level dir> -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
and for the files:
find <top level dir> -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \;
while you are there, you might want to read the find man page ;
find has lots of interesting features.
Erik
