Of couse your thinking is the best one. But this one seems to have few
flaws to me. It will result in:
...
chmod: too few arguments
Try `chmod --help' for more information.
Original post is asking
for all files 660
for all directories 770
So something like:
chmod -R ug=rwX,o-rwx .
should do the best one liner command to address original poster's request.

PS: I do "chmod -R go=rX,u+rw ." more often since this is what I usually
wants for the fixed permissions. So Joey is right except typo :)
