grep files from results by find
find /var/ftp/mp3 -name "*.mp3" -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
This command changes the permissions of all files with a name ending in .mp3 in the directory /var/ftp/mp3. The action is carried out by specifying the option -exec chmod 644 {} \;
in the command. For every file whose name ends in .mp3
, the command chmod 644 {}
is executed replacing {}
with the name of the file. The semicolon (backslashed to avoid the shell interpreting it as a command separator) indicates the end of the command. Permission 644
, usually shown as rw-r--r--
, gives the file owner full permission to read and write the file, while other users have read-only access. In some shells, the {}
must be quoted.
