HOWTO find files that are not world readable

Posted At : May 18, 2009 11:47 AM

I ran across some permissions errors on content that some users uploaded to a website. The files uploaded were not world readable so were coming up as forbidden:

This simple find command shows the offending files:

/usr/bin/find . -type f ! -perm -004

A quickie but a goodie.
