Please someone assist me with chmod, I have the following file structure
-dir1 --file1 --file2 --dir1a ---file1a1 ---file1a2 --dir1b ---file1b1 ---file1b2 How do I chmod 655 to all files under dir1 and all subdir? So all files will have 655 permission and all dir will remain as they were.
Thank you

Better to use
find . -type f -exec chmod 655 -- {} + The other proposed solution from @sagarchalise will not work if filenames contain spaces or start with a dash.
5I think going inside dir1 and
find . -type f | xargs chmod 655
will do the trick.
Or this version, which supports file names with spaces:
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 655
