Subject : Changing permission for all directory only
Usually we use this command below to changing permission for files & directories recursively: [code]chmod 664 -Rf *[/code] But what is the command if I want to change permission for directories only recursively? Thanks

[code=xml]find /path/to/starting/directory -type d -exec chmod 775 {} +[/code] Just substitute [b]/path/to/starting/directory[/b] and [b]775[/b] according to your specific needs.

Thank you for the answer. One question though, what is the '+' symbol at the end the command?
