WS-=> Oops! I tried using the command sudo chmod -R 666 /home/common
and the directory structure of /home/common has been messed up.
The common directory and all the directories inside the /home/common
directory are now listed as being files. Of course, the actual files
inside the common directory are inaccessible. I probably will have to
change the files(directories) back to regular directories. The common
directory is not too complicated so I can correct this mistake. Which
command will change a file(directory) back to a regular directory?
Best wishes
