Chmod 777 to a folder and all contents [duplicate]

问题:

This question already has an answer here:

• How do I change permissions for a folder and all of its subfolders and files in one step in Linux? [closed] 16 answers

I have a web directory /www and a folder in that directory called store.

Within store are several files and folders. I want to give the folder store and all files and folders within the store folder all permissions.

How do I do this? I am guessing via .htaccess.

回答1:

If you are going for a console command it would be:

chmod -R 777 /www/store. The -R (or --recursive) options makes it recursive.

Or if you want to make all the files in the current directory have all permissions type:

chmod -R 777 ./

If you need more info about chmod command see: File permission

回答2:

If by all permissions you mean 777

Navigate to folder and

chmod -R 777 .

回答3:

You can give permission to folder and all its contents using option -R i.e Recursive permissions.

But I would suggest not to give 777 permission to all folder and it's all contents. You should give specific permission to each sub-folder in www directory folders.

Ideally give 755 permission for security reasons to web folder.

sudo chmod -R 755 /www/store

Each number have meaning in permission. Do not give full permissions.

N   Description                      ls   binary    
0   No permissions at all            ---  000
1   Only execute                     --x  001
2   Only write                       -w-  010
3   Write and execute                -wx  011
4   Only read                        r--  100
5   Read and execute                 r-x  101
6   Read and write                   rw-  110
7   Read, write, and execute         rwx  111

• First Number 7 - Read, write, and execute for user.
• Second Number 5 - Read and execute for group.
• Third Number 5 - Read and execute for other.

If your production web folder have multiple users, then you can set permissions and user groups accordingly.

回答4:

You can also use chmod 777 *

This will give permissions to all files currently in the folder and files added in the future without giving permissions to the directory itself.

NOTE: This should be done in the folder where the files are located. For me it was an images that had an issue so I went to my images folder and did this.

回答5:

Yes, very right that the -R option in chmod command makes the files/sub-directories under the given directory will get 777 permission. But generally its not a good practice to give 777 to all files and dirs as it can lead to data insecurity. Try to be very specific on giving the all rights to all files and directories. And to answer your question:

chmod -R 777 your_directory_name

... will work

回答6:

for mac, should be a ‘superuser do’;

so first :

sudo -s 
password:

and then

chmod -R 777 directory_path

回答7:

This didn't work to me.

sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/your/file/or/directory

I used -f also.

sudo chmod -R -f 777 /path/to/your/file/or/directory
