chmod responds cannot access

  • 772

A command

chmod -R 775 /home/den/backup/*.sh

responds with

No such file or directory

I know there are shells within that structure, specifically some at /home/den/backup/shells

What is wrong with my command?

command-line

    You can not use -R with *.sh. Your directories are NOT in

    chmod -R 775 /home/den/backup/*.sh

    If you want *.sh inside /home/den/backup/shells it needs to be

    chmod 775 /home/den/backup/*/*.sh

    A method to do it recursive for all files ending in .sh:

    find /home/den/backup/ -type f -iname "*.sh" -exec chmod +x {} \;
