I might have not made it clear. I want to remove the write permissons of the directories and keep it for the files.
Then this should do the job: find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 555 ^ ^ These are the number not the letter. You could use: find . -type d -exec chmod 555 '{}' \; to do the same job. The only difference between them is that the former starts up the minimum number of instances of chmod, where as the second one won't complain if there are no directories to actually chmod.
