Subject: chmod operation on directories / files

Hello,

How do I chmod separately files and directories?

If I use chmod -R 644 then it will go through all the subdirectories=20
assigning everything 644 permissions, directories including.

Many thanks!

find /test -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Replace /test with full path to your directory.
For directories use '-type d'.
