To change the permissions for an entire directory in Linux, you can use the chmod command. This command is used to modify the permissions of a file or directory.
To change the permissions of a directory, use the command chmod followed by the desired permissions and the directory name. For example, to change a directory’s permissions to 755, you can use the command:
chmod 755 directoryname/
This will change the permissions of the directory to 755. You can also use the -R flag to recursively change the permissions of all files and directories within the directory. For example, to change the permissions of all files and directories within a directory to 755, use the command:
chmod -R 755 directoryname/
