  Sure, but doing this "off the cuff" it will be two command lines vice one:
The first will change the mode of _all_ directories to 775:

	find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ";"

and the second changes all "files" to mode 664:

	find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ";"

Now the real "issue" is that if one also uses FrontPage with this website, 
then the directories _really_ need to be mode 2755 vice 775 or possibly 2775 
but you can easily change the "mode" above to whatever such as:

	find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} ";"

which changes all directories (from your _current_ location) to mode 2775 
(set GID).
