I kind of new to Linux/Centos world, is there any way to set the permissions on all the files and folders within a directory. I know chmod 777 will set permissions on the directory, but if it already has contents, I need to know how to set that too. In windows, you propagate the permission down, must be a way to do that in Linux. Thanks.

       -R, --recursive

  • Mandatory comment that `chmod 777` is garbage and should never be performed, much less so with `--recursive` and even less so when you don't know `--recursive` without asking on StackOverflow. – Ginnungagap Nov 03 '22 at 21:58
