File permissions

[ian]

The permissions on one of our drives have got a bit screwed up.

I need to make all the directories with attributes with 664 and any other file 770

Is there a way I can do this with chmod recursively setting only the directories and then only the 'other' files. (There are too many to go through and set individually)

The only thing I can think of is chmod -R 0664 FILE where FILE is the name of the directory you want to change permissions on. the -R options is for recursively changing files in that directory.

I hope this helps you somewhat.

You could to a perlscript to check if dir do this else do this

good question
use * in your chmod command.
chmod 664 *
this command change all the contents of your folders permission.
so you can mv your directories to another directory and change your files and folders permission seprately.

find <yourdirectory -type d | chmod 664 *
find <yourdirectory -type f | chmod 770 *

Should do the trick.....
