How to change file & folder permissions recursively in Linux
Often times it’s necessary to change the permissions on many files & folders recursively – i.e. change the permisssions on every file & folder.
Todo so, login to your Server via SSH, and run the following commands as root.
1 2 3 | find /home/username/public_html/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; find /home/username/public_html/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; |
The first line will change all folders (the “d” specifies directory) to mode 755
The second line will change all files to mode 644.
