You can use chmod +X, it will work if your files are already not executable. +X will keep the executable bit for the ones that already executable (directories) but not set it for who doesn't have it. You can use something like: chmod -R a+rX,u+w,go-w . Of course, if your files have the executable bit set and you want to remove it, it won't work for you, in that case you should use the find | xargs chmod solution that was posted already.
