On Linux or Unix systems perform recursively a command on items might contain white space, quote marks, or backslashes can be a problem when using find | xargs combination.

To solve this you may use:

find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 <command>
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 <command>

For example to fix recursively permission:

find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644
