How to find all directories by keyword and create .htaccess file with the same content automatically?

  • 772

I need to find all folders on a Linux server with directory name config and put a .htaccess in that directory containing "deny from all".

I'm currently trying to run:

find /home/www/sites/ -type d -name "config" -exec sh -c 'echo "deny from all" > .htaccess' \;

But it doesn't work.

What have I missed?
