File permission by chmod
Hi,

I have a typical problem. Consider the scenario:

Folder1
------> Folder2 ------> File1
------> Folder3

Above is my folder structure, currently the user group "other" has no permissions. I wish to give "read" permission for "others" to File1 using a single command.

chmod -R o+r Folder1 # gives permission to even Folder3 as well which I don't want.

Only way I could find to give permission is to give permission "r" for each of Folder1, Folder2 and File1. Problem becomes complex if there are 10 folders to recurse.

Any solution??
