I have to go all the way into every sub folder and edit the permissions to give me the ability to write to the files. Is there a way to give every file in a folder the same permissions without having to change them all individually (and individually, i mean mass-selecting files themselves. Why can't i just give the permissions to the folder and have them applied to every file/sub-folder contained within? |

QUOTE Why can't i just give the permissions to the folder and have them applied to every file/sub-folder contained within? Because it's a security issue. From a command line you can: chmod -R 744 <dir name> (optionally you can cd into the dir and): chmod 644 * Also check your "umask" this tells newly created files which permissions to have. -------------------- |
