Directories have to have the 'x' execute permission on them for people to change into them. So really what you would want to do is: # find /music -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -v 0755 This will make sure that all directories have their permissions set to 0755 which means that the "other" permission field will be readable and executable.
