[Solution] How to set up permissions recursively to files or folders

If you need to change permissions for all the files or all the folders in a specific directory, then you will need these commands:

For changing files’ permissions:

find /path/to/directory -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

For changing folders permissions:

find /path/to/directory -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Or, you already changed the directory to the desired path, you can use these commands:

For files:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

and for directories (folders):

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
