directory permissions

Written by Scott Rowley

Move to the directory you want to start chmodding files in and run the following:

Recursively set FILE permissions.

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \+

Recursively set DIRECTORY permissions.

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \+

*Note, obviously you can change the chmod number to whatever you want, 777, 600, etc.

This will be a growing list as I find commands I need…

Find files of .ext that are 0 bytes and rm them.

find . -name "*.ext" -size 0 -exec rm {} \;
