Recursive Chmod

Is this possible

[Spook]

Hi everyone,

I have agreed to install a PHP portal system for someone before realising I will have to set permissions on what looks like hundreds of files.

Whilst the majority of files in each folder will require the same permissions, the thought of changing each individually is giving me nightmares.

Does anyone know of a piece of software which will allow the "mass setting" of permissions, or do I just bite the bullit?

A search of this site turned up nothing.

BTW I currently use DW MX and Filezilla for FTP.

Thanks in advance.

If you have access to the shell, you can type:

chmod <permissionsettings> * -R

Actually, I think that the -R must come first:

chmod -R <permissionsettings> *

Thanks guys.

I'm checking if he has shell access. If he does I will give that a try and let you know.

WS-FTP will do it. Just hightlight all the files and right click em and select chmod and the permissions and off it goes.....

WS-FTP is a widely available shareware program.
