All the folders should be 755 & the files should be 644

To recursively give directories read&execute privileges:

find /path/to/base/dir -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +

To recursively give files read privileges:

find /path/to/base/dir -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +

Making folder 777 is not recommended at all and poses security threats.

All folders should be 755 and files should be 644
