Find all files on server with 777 permissions
I'm looking for a Linux command to go through all the directories on my server and find all files with 777 permission. The output would be a list of all those files with full path.
linux command-line permissions find chmod

And if you like to find all files without Permission 0777 then just enter a ! before the perm, e.g.
find / -type f ! -perm 0777

You can also change the permissions or ownership of all those files resulting from the find execution using the -exec option to avoid change them manually.
Exempli gratia: In a web server you could need to grant the group to write files:
find / -type f -perm 0777 -exec chmod 775 {} ; -exec chgrp -R www {} ;

Be very very careful doing this - always worth using -exec ls first in order to see what the effect of your command will do. Find is super powerful and will often find things you didn't expect it to.

It's true. My command should be used once you know which files will result from the search.

it's as easy as:

if you only want to match files, use this instead:
