I have over 1000 subfolders of a directory that I need to chmod to 777, how do I do this in putty?

If you want to set EVERYTHING to 777, you can just

Code:

chmod -R 777 /path/to/directory

If you want dirs only set to 777, use this:

Code:

find /path/to/directory -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

The space-backslash-semicolon ' \;' at the end there is important, so don't change the spacing or leave out the slash.

HTH. HAND.
