I want to change the permissions on directories, recursively to:
drwxr-xr-x
but keep the files within the directory tree as:
-rw-r--r--
But I can't find an option for chmod to only affect directories. I suppose it won't hurt (in this case) to set the x for the files, but I want some consistancy.
find . -type d | xargs chmod 755
Or if the directories may have whitespace
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
