permissions question

Hi,

How can I set permissions to all the files in a directory and it's sub directories for owner only read+write, leaving the directories with execute?

Because if I just chmod -R 600 the directories dont get execute permission so i cant access the files inside.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: permissions question

I don't think so, wouldn't that also change the sub directories permissions, not just files?

Re: permissions question

elasticdog's way is how I'd do it... "find -type f" is about the only way I know to narrow that stuff down... besides some complex scripting of "ls -F" and grep "/$"... /me shrugs
