chmod question...

Hey guys!

Got a problem: I need to "chmod a-r *" all files in all subdirectories, but I don't want to change the attributes of the directories!
How can I do that... :?

Re: chmod question...

How about (this is untested) something like 'chmod a-r `find . -type f`'?

find /home/ftp/ -type f -exec chmod a-x {} ;
