chmod a lot of files

So i have about 600gb of data.. in which there are alot of directories and alot of files.. Im trying to put this on a ftp server.. So i want to set the permissions on the directories to be 755 and the permission on the files to be 644. So i used:

Code:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {}\;

and

Code:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {}\;

The command for the files seemed to work on the majority of the files.. But the one for directories worked for like 30% of my diretories.. Can you guys recommend another way of doing this.. To make sure "all" my files are set to 644 and "all" my directories are set to 755... Thanks
