chmod command? entire hosting account?

Hello,
i moving my site to new web hosting.
but files after unzip is 644, so have to chmod.

how to chmod entire account? it's 755?

can you show me chmod command?

thank you

 

chmod -R 755 /directory/path

 

under /directory/path/ all directories with files will be 755?

 

Yes, -R means recursive. Every file in every subdirectory of /directory/path will be chmod to 755. And the subdirectories themselve will be also chmod 755.

 

thanks so much.
it's work.

 

Hello there,

The more secure way would be to keep all of your files with 644 permissions, and only chmod the files that you absolutely have to. Directories can have 755 permissions, files should not.

Hi,

Put chmod 755 all files + all directory are total wrong!

But if you really need the directory chmod 755 put it.

To chmod only the files in 644 the command are:
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 *.* {} \;

Use flag -R :

chmod -R [permissions] [dir name]

It will make chmod descend into directories.
