# Set 4 Web

To constantly set file and folder permissions for folders in /var/www can be a hassle
Please note this script is not for production, the permissions set here is for testing purposes and is not secure
However this is perfect for testing

# The Script

# set4Web.sh

#!/bin/bash

The Script accepts one paramarter and the is the full path of the directory you want to set4web plus all it's sub-directories and files
Then I had to set the script to be executable

chmod +x set4web.sh

Then I created a synbolic link to my /usr/bin folder to make the script global accessable

ln -s /srv/scripts/set4Web.sh /usr/bin/set4web

Now to set the permissions 4 web for /var/www/test I only have to type set4web /var/www/test
