Can I change devices permissions with chmod?

What's the flag for chmod to recursively traverse a directory?

  • I need to be able to make a directory tree writeable (777) from the root of the tree. What's the parameter to recursively traverse the tree and change all of the permissions on all of the files in the tree to 777? Thanks,

  • Answer:

    -R or --recursive do a man chmod... An answer to your edit, yes.
