Ok, I think it would be wise to begin with the scenario.

I've got a server that has a template directory structure containing 7 folders. Some folders will need permissions set one way, and other set another way. That's the easy part using:

chmod -R 755 * ;This used first to cover majority

To change permissions on specific directories, I've used the following:

find ./ -type d -name dirname | xargs chmod 775

Works great until I have a directory with a space. IE:"Print Production"

I've done the following and successfully found such directories with:

find ./ -type d -name Print*' '*Production -print

Tried running this to change permissions:

find ./ -type d -name Print*' '*Production | xargs chmod 775

This is what I get in response to running the command:

chmod: .//YOU99752/YOU/20681/Print: No such file or directory
chmod: Production: No such file or directory

As you can see here, it seems to be trying to apply permission to "Print" and "Production" subdirectories. I can chmod in the root folder for "Print Production and change permissions, but with over 6000+ subdirectories, I really don't have the time (or patience) to go through each directory as would anyone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Perfectly!
