How to apply different directory and file permissions recursively by one command

  • 772

Let's assume that I have this folder structure:

|-Home    
 |-Subdir
  |-Subsubdir
 |-Subdir

Each directory includes a bunch of files.

Now I want to apply the following permissions:

  • All directories - 750
  • All files in these directories - 644

Is it possible to do it in one go?

    I could do it in 2 passes

    find /path/to/Home -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \+
find /path/to/Home -type f -exec chmod 744 {} \+

    Why do you need to do it in 'one go' ?
