help with --chmod=a+rwX tag

i have been looking in the forums for this and cant find it.

after i do a delta copy to my 2003 server i have to change the files with

chmod -Rv a+rwX /cygdrive/S/myfiles

inorder to read any of the file and dir's i have to use the above command.

i have tried to use the --chmod=a+rwX tag in the additional parameters and it does let me read the files in the root of the dir /cygdrive/S/myfiles
or in the dir pass myfiles ie /cygdrive/S/myfiles/test/

if someone could point me in the right direction

or help me with a better search of the answer.

Thanks

i did find on these forums this tag --chmod=a=rw,Da+x and it does make it so i can read the first dir listing but any thing after

/cygdrive/C/myfiles/test/file.txt i still can read or goto the dir test.

is there some recursive command for --chmod?

I got around that problem with -p --chmod ugo+rwX and it works well. Of course, it opens many security holes on the server end if you aren't the only one managing it. Try adding just -p to the additional parameters.
