Moderator: Any chance you could change the link to point to the proper location
http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html -- you will notice that the 302 at netsonic.fi redirects to the same location (the redirector will go away, maybe soon).
There's another mention at
https://www.unix.com/answers-to-frequently-asked-questions/16576-some-sites-recommended-our-users.html -- maybe you could change that too.
bhargav's answer is the best (apart from the silly chmod 777, when 755 was specifically what was asked for in the first place) if you know the list of files is smallish; otherwise, you'll bump into the ARG_MAX limit. This is also described on the Awards page.
