Now go to the directory using cd and list all the files and directories inside by using ls -alh. Now you can use following command to find problematic files/directories with insufficient permissions. 

# find -L . -perm +u-rwx,g-rwx,o-rwx

If you wish to correct insufficient permissions simultaneously, you can use following command: 

# find -L . -perm +u-rwx,g-rwx,o-rwx -exec chmod u+rX '{}' \;
