I was wondering if you guys knew a command for FC that would change the permisions for any files in my home dir so i could write them. i copied my music from my NTFS drive but they are all maked read only. and i wanted to avoid manualy changing every file and folder. (when u change the folders permisions it doesnt change any of the files within the folder or any folders in it either) thank you guys

the quick and dirty way is chmod +w <filename>

but will that change the permissions of the files within the folder? or the folders within the parent folder. I mean i have 2000+ songs and i rather not do it one by one =P

a-ha, if you want to do it recursively, say from a folder and all within it, do 'chmod -R <directory name>'

be careful with this :)
