You need to use
findcommand together withchmod.
For example, if you need to set 644 permissions to all files in the current directory including all its subdirectories use this commandfind . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;if you need to set 755 permissions to all subdirectories in the current directory use this command
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;More examples for typical usage of
findcommand can be found here, at
find examples page.To change files and directories owner use this command
chown -Rv username somedir
To change files and directories group use this command
chgrp -Rv groupname somedir
