    chmod a whole directory?

    does anyone remember how to chmod a whole directory and it's subdirectories and contains.

    i'm limited to only using ftp to do this...so i'm not sure it can be done.

    thanks!

    chmod -r xxx *

    or whatever the dir name for *, might be a capital R

    The -R just means recursive if you were wondering

    Also, check out:

    man chmod
