Greg,
chmod will not distinguish between files and directories.
To do the changes you propose, you will want to use find and
chmod together.
I will assume you are at the base of what you want to change.
To change files:
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
To change directories:
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
These commands will start a the directory you are in and recusively
change all files and directories.
If you want to learn more about the -type, read the man page on find.
