chmod'ing all files and directories?

[freebies_11]

Hi,

How would I go about chmod'ing all files 600 and all directories 700 recursively?

Thanks!

chmod 0700 * -R

Thanks for the quick reply but this won't work since it'll chmod files 700 instead of 600.

Use mc.
It's in portage.

Use find, something like this:

$ find -type f -exec chmod 600 '{}' \;
$ find -type d -exec chmod 700 '{}' \;

Thank you everyone for your replies, the find method worked perfectly.
