This might work:

chmod -R ug+rw foldername

the -R means recursive. You have to enter this command as super user.

the ug+rw can be set to 644 or 755 (those are the permission types).

See the chmod man page for more info

  • so omit the -R 755 means "(rwxr-xr-x) The file's owner may read, write, and execute the file. All others may read and execute the file. This setting is common for programs that are used by all users." linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php

  • Don't use -R and the other users will not be allowed to access any subfolders
