hollywood63 0 Posted August 5, 2004 I'm trying to unlock my files using chmod. But I can't remember where to put the R to unlock all files at once. Like chmod 777 /home R Its been a while since I've been on my Linux box so go easy. Thanks Hollywood Share this post Link to post
martouf 0 Posted August 5, 2004 good, that's "R" for recursive. plus one for remembering. the recursive directive is a command line switch, sooo... yup, it needs a hyphen char. try "chmod -R 777 topdirname" ciao! Share this post Link to post
