Can't remember how to
This is a discussion about Can't remember how to in the Everything Linux category; 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!
