chmod rw for file and rwx for directories 1

[venkman]

does anyone have a shell script for recursively changing all files to rw access and directories to rwx?

Venkman:

The easiest way is to use find:

# directories
find . -type d |xargs chmod 777

# files
find . -type f |xargs chmod 666

Of course, the user needs to be root or have permissions to change the files.
