Uhm, not sure what you are asking here, but this will set all the files
in a directory (and all the directories below it) to world readable:

	chmod -R o+r *

If you just don't like typing chmod, you could change the owner of all
files, or the group of all files and set it to that of the web-server
process...

	chgrp -R www-data *

or

	chown -R www-data *

(Note that this is a Debian example :-)
