changing permissions...
How can I shange the permissions of all the subfolders and files of a given folder?
I copied a folder from a CD and there are 100s of files and folders in that which don't have execute permissions. I would like to change the permissions of all the contents in one go... Thanks in advance... |

chmod -R u+x /the/file/directory/*
-R mens recursive so it will go into any sub-directories. u+x means add execute to user. the * is the wildcard meaning everthing in that folder. if your stuk on a command enter the command followed by --help. |
