Permissions only to apply to files/directories
Hello,

Say I have a directory with many files and many sub-directories. Is it possible to do a chmod which will only apply to either the files or the directories?

Cheers!

To chmod just subdirs of /usr/local/src/ to 777 recursively:
Code:
find /usr/local/src -type d | xargs chmod 777
For files that'd be -type f, and for symlinks -type l.
