It sounds like you are unaware of 'mkdir -p' and 'chown -R'.
They are the standard tools for this kind of task.
'chmod -R' is less useful because it does not discriminate
between files and directories, I never understood why it
does not offer that option, because usually we need all file
permissions to not be the same as all directory permissions.
