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.
