You don't really want to do that unless you are very sure everything is secure, because 777 will give ANYONE access to those files. But,if you want to chmod an entire directory, you can do something like: %chmod 770 -R aDirectory/ or %chmod 770 * or %man chmod remember, man (as in manual, not male :))is your best friend.
