Mark asked:


I need to be able to make a directory tree writeable (777) from the root of the tree. What’s the parameter to recursively traverse the tree and change all of the permissions on all of the files in the tree to 777?

Thanks,
So would the following:

chmod -R 777 /deploy/

change all files and directories to RWX from /deploy down?
