in thread Save permissions on a directory tree

Assuming you're on a *nix box, I'd second revdiablo's suggestion

Funnily enough, my suggestion does not really require a unix machine. Most of the good utilities have been ported to many other operating systems. Consider the following from my local Win32 box:

U:\>find . -printf "%m %u:%g %p\n" | tail 777 ctilden:Domain Users ./SRID 644 ctilden:Domain Users ./trans.csv 755 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS 644 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS/ArtGalry.Cag 755 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS/system 644 ctilden:Domain Users ./WINDOWS/win.ini 644 ctilden:Domain Users ./winscp.RND 777 ctilden:Domain Users ./work 644 ctilden:Domain Users ./zeros.pl 644 ctilden:Domain Users ./_viminfo

Update: This post is meant to be general in nature, with debates about the usefulness of this to the original topic notwithstanding. =)
