How to make all files under a directory world readable on linux?
bash, chmod, command-line, linux, ubuntu
Solution
`man 3 chmod` contains the information you are looking for.
chmod -R +r directory
the `-R` option tells `chmod` to operate recursively.
Problem
I want to make all files (and directories) under a certain directory world readable without having to chmod each file on its own. it would be great if there is an option to also do this recursively (look under folders and chmod 666 all files under it)
