How to recursively /usr/bin/find only readonly files?
I'm having trouble because, for some reason, cp -R missed a few files. And so did xcopy/s.
Since I'm running Cygwin on Win10, I decided to see if robocopy would be more effective. The trouble is someone, maybe xcopy/s or cp -R dutifully set certain files to be read only so when I try a subsequent command (after the failed recursive copy operation) it (robocopy for example) fails to copy because there is an existing file that is set to readonly.
So: how do I use
to locate all (only) the read only files so I can use chmod 777 on them?
Thanks

Reason: Add CODE and ICODE tags.
I tried google searching for the -perm mode syntax and could not find any examples. /usr/bin/find -help -perm gave some cryptic syntax summary and I still could not figure out the -perm [-/]MODE syntax. I also tried info find on Cygwin and could not find any help there either.
Could someone kindly show me some examples of using the -perm -MODE -regex syntax to find read only files?
Thanks

So I would like my search to include ~/2009/abc/def and ~/2010/2001/33 but not ~/103/ or ~/20101/ or ~/201/... (2 Replies)
Q1. I understand that /usr/local/bin means I can install/uninstall stuff in here and have any chance of messing up my original system files or effecting any other users. I created this directory myself.
But what about the directory I didn't create, namely /Users/m/bin? How is that directory... (1 Reply)
