Warning: Unless you know exactly what you are doing and why you're doing this. Do not execute these commands.

Any of the below should work. Just switch between f(file) and d(directory):

find . -type f -perm 644 -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo chmod 777

Easier:
find . -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 0777 {} \;

Hi Harry


This example will change every file to 777 in the /home/user/directory and above.

chmod -R 777 /home/user/directory

Unless you have a specific reasons for doing this 777 is very bad idea.
