Issue
If folder folder
is read/write/execute accessible to me, then it should become read/write/execute to everyone.
Calling chmod -R 777 ./folder
does not suit, because it makes all files executable, even those that were not executable before.
Is there an easy way?
Solution
You might want to add add the files in the folder to a user group like everyone
or users
depending on your distro.
chown -R <youruser>:everyone ./folder
You can check what available user groups you have with groups
command.
