Topic: need to chmod more than 1 file/directory

[npereira]

I need to know if there is a way to chmod multiple directories in 1 command without affecting the files in them ?

If so how?

Im trying to install phpnuke on SME V5 and i cant change the permissions inside the ftp client.

If you have a better way of doing this, let me know!

Thanks

chmod 755 /root  -R

No, i mean all directories need to be 777 and all files need to be 666

How can i do this in 1 or 2 steps?

Try to use a disk navigation tool with chown and chmod capabilities

I use Midnight comander
is a kind of old but very effective (and shows you the tree structure)
in a root opened session at the server type mc and navigate were you want
you can select multiple files an dirs with "insert" key.

find -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
