chmod...
Hey everyone, I was wondering if there was a quicker way to chmod a lot of files than doing what im currently doing.
At the moment, im doing chmod 777 *filename* - but I have a lot of files, sub-directories, sub-files etc etc. And at the moment I see I have to chmod every single file individually. I chmod the directory but the files and sub-dirs inside that directory still need to be chmoded. Can someone please help and save me alot of time? Thanks a lot!
