Chmod Files And Directories as 775 and 664

[kwanbis]

I need to change folders to 775 and files to 664 recursively, but this bash does not has find command (?).

How can I change them recursively? Thanks.

chmod 777 /folder/folder/*

the " * " means recursively...

No it does not.
It means to chmod everything on the level of the folder.

chmod -R will work recursively.

However, find would be helpfull to have files 644 and dirs 755.
How come, that there is none?

find /path/to/where/you/want -type d | xargs chmod 755
find /path/to/where/you/want -type f | xargs chmod 664

if your bash doesn't have find, install it.

sh-4.1# rpm -qf `which find`

sh-4.1#
