unix command.. quick question
 

ok, quick question... I'm trying to chmod a directory and all it's subdirectories to 777 but I want to leave all the files at 755. Will this command do it?

find . -type d | chmod 755 directoryname

directoryname being the one i'd like to start in.

??

Sorry, my unix is pretty rusty and any help would be appreciated.

find /directory/start/path -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

awesome, thanks :thumbsup

No problem :)

Just so you know, I actually went and tested that on both FreeBSD and Linux (the find command differs slightly between them) and it works just fine on both.
