Linux find and exec

Change permissions of all files in a directory including files inside sub-directories

I wanted to ensure that all files has the 644 permissions but I don't want the directories to have the same permissions.

First, I'll run it with ls -l command to avoid accidental command execution.

find ./ -type f -name "*" -exec ls -l "{}" \;

Once confirmed that it finds the correct files, I can run the chmod command.

find ./ -type f -name "*" -exec chmod 644 "{}" \;
