    Can chmod be used for changing permissions for directories only and/or files
    only? In other words in a directory/file structure like

    folder
    --- subfolder1
    ------ file1
    ------ file2
    --------- subfolder2
    ------------ file3
    --- subfolder2
    ------ file4

    (etc.)

    I want all files to be 644 and all folders to be 755. It seems that it is
    an all or nothing exercise. chmod -R * and then go back and do the folders
    individually? Hopefully there's an easier way. Thanks.
