Change all files and folders permissions of a directory to 644/755

Question

How would I change all files to 644 and all folders to 755 using chmod from the linux command prompt? (Terminal)

Answer 1

On https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=589 they write:

If you need a quick way to reset your public_html data to 755 for directories and 644 for files, then you can use something like this:

cd /home/user/domains/domain.com/public_html
find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

I tested and ... it works!
