Chmod 777 to a folder and all contents?

Question

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.

I'm struggling with what you really need here ...

Are you saying you want read/write/execute permissions on every file/directory below www?

if so, here one way - perhaps the most straightforward way:

chmod -R ogu+rwx www/store

$ find .

.

./www

./www/store

./www/store/1.cgi

./www/store/1.html

./www/store/2.cgi

./www/store/2.html

./www/store/3.html

./www/store/4.html

./www/store/5.html

$ ls -l www/*

total 0
