How to edit SSH file and folder permissions?

Question

SSH

Hello!
Please tell me how to edit file permissions separately and to folders separately on SSH Linux.
I did chmod -R 755 /path/name_of_directory_or_file - but this gives 755 permissions to all folders and files, and I need it separately for folders and separately for files.

Answer 1

More or less like this

find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

Answer 2

-R - recursively, i.e. for the directory and everything inside, don't use this option and that's it)
