So I tried right clicking on the folder that contained a bunch of documents. I right click, then click on "properties," then permissions, and at the bottom of the screen is a place for a check box that says "Apply changes to all sub-directories and their contents."
That should have worked.
But it doesn't work. When I do that nothing inside the folder changes. I still have to write-enable each item individually.
Am I doing something wrong? Have I overlooked a setting somewhere?
If that doesn't work, try "chmod -cRv u+w (path to directory)". That change everything under that level and show you what it did. ;-)
Great command! Thanks, Joe. Worked like a charm. Gil
