mass chmod command-need help
 

i have sitemap.htm on all my sites (around 150) in my server.i want to chmod from 644 to 666.
is there shell script to mass chmod these particular files?
i tried this code but not working.
chmod -R 666 fullsitemap.htm

i'm not an expert on this stuff but maybe

chmod -R 666 */fullsitemap.htm

something like this:

cd /your/web/root
find ./ -name sitemap.htm -exec chmod 666 "{}"\;

It should recursively chmod all the sitemap files in all the subdirectories of your web root.

Or if that has problems, this might work:

cd /your/web/root
chmod 666 `find ./ name sitemap.htm`

Also, BTW.. you sure you want to make those files on your webserver world writeable? Seems like whatever your trying to accomplish, theres gotta be a better way. Generally, its very bad practice to do something like that.

:2 cents:

thanks i will try this
