Changing folder/file permissions on website

[SimpleSi]

Is their an easy way to change permissions on files/folders recursively on websites?

On my local VM LAMP, I can just use chmod -Rxxx * to change permissions on all files and folders in a directory but I can't find anyhting to do the same on a remote website apart from using an FTP program to change each folder/set of files, one at time.

You need shell access to do that.
