Website Files Permissions

  • 772

I am trying to set all folders and subfolders (directories) to 755 and all files that are contained by folders and subfolders to 644.

I don't know how can I do this from 1-2 commands. Is this even possible?

bash

    Yes you can...

    This command sets all directories to permissions 755

    find /your/selected/dir -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

    and this one sets all files to permissions 644

    find /your/selected/dir -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

    For better understanding of this command I suggest ExplainShell: http://explainshell.com/
