Ok, so when I changed from my old mac to my new mac, I didn't use the migration assistant, since I wanted to change some key things. What I did do, was copy some old folders from my old mac to my new mac. Oddly enough, during this change, the permissions on these files got locked. Now, since I'm logged in as admin, I can unlock these files and change the permissions, but there's a lot of items and subfolders within this one folder, that I've had to change them all one by one so far. Is there a way, either through finder, or through the terminal that I can just change every item within the one folder at the same time?

And yes, I'm aware that my title says "off" instead of "of." Sorry about that.
 
Finder > select folder > GET INFO > Sharing & Permissions > Privilege > Apply to enclosed items
