Hi Scott.

To change permissions on a directory and all its sub dirs
and files try these commands on a test directory first.

chmod -R 777 /directory
777 gives the world read write and execute permissions.
possibly not a good idea, so change these numbers to suit
your situation.

or to change ownership.
chown -R scott:scott /directory
this changes all files to user scott and group scott
