How do I remove all file restrictions?

[krazykuul]

I know this has been asked before, but all the responses I saw were to go into sudo nautilus with the terminal (which I do), or change the permissions manually.

Since I am working with files mostly from programs I install, it is really annoying to have to change the permissions of each individual file.

So is there a way to completely remove all file and folder permissions? I think I did it before, but that was a long time ago on another computer, and I totally forget how I did that. I don't have to worry about security, and I am not dumb enough to go deleting files on my hard drive

Thanks for the help

You can't remove the permissions, but you can make sure that they match the user. "sudo chown -R krazykuul:krazykuul *" will assign ownership to user krazykuul for all files in the current directory and recursively (-R) all files in subdirectories of the current directory.

You can then use "chmod -R +rw *" to make all files, directories and subdirectories readable and writable.

If you actually want to live without file ownership then you could transfer your files to an NTFS (or FAT) filesystem.
