Can't remember how to

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

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!
