stripping permissions

[creepwood]

I'm trying to reset my permissions on all my data. Right now there is only my stuff on my NAS and before letting someone else store data on it, I'd like to reset all the permissions.

Some files/folders have extra permissions as ACL. I'd like to strip that as well. googling for an hour trying to find a way to do this through shell.

I've tried

Code:

setfacl -b file

which works fine, however I'd like to do this on all files recursively.

How would I do this on all files recursively?

Hi Creepwood,

From the top level parent folder, try: find . -type f -exec setfacl -b {} \;

EDIT: For folders do find . -type d -exec setfacl -b {} \;

working like a charm. Had to do it on folders as well but just changed the type to d

thank you ^.^
