A script to make a folder UNIX-like

Sometimes I have to deal with people who use a tentatively OS that, among other things, doesn’t understand UNIX-like permissions :).

I modified a bash script of Kaz Kylheku (found in bash-doc) which for a given folder recursively changes:

  • the permissions of all its files to 644 (and “dos2unix” them);
  • the permissions of all its subdirectories to 755

You can find it here.

UPDATE (2007-01-11): it doesn’t make sense to run dos2unix against a non text file so I have just uploaded here a “-t” version that processes with dos2unix only some kind of file as in:
if [[ "$file" =~ '[css|html|js|php]$’ ]]; then
dos2unix $file
fi

    [...] it to compute a different chechsum is pretty trivial of course). It is a modified version of the already hacked script written by Kaz [...]
