777 is dangerous. You don't really want to do that
unless you are very sure everything is secure, because
777 will give ANYONE access to those files.

But,if you want to chmod an entire directory, you can
do something like:
%chmod 770 -R aDirectory/

or 
%chmod 770 *

or
%man chmod

remember, man (as in manual, not male :))is your best
friend.
