Chmod 777 to a folder and all contents [duplicate]

Question

I have the web directory /www and a folder in that directory called a store.

Within a store are several files and folders. I want to give each folder store and all files and folders within this store folder all permissions.

How can I approach this?

Answer 1

If you are working on each console command it would be:

chmod -R 777 /www/store. The -R (or --recursive) options make it recursive.

Or if you want to make all those files in each current directory have all permissions type:

chmod -R 777 ./
