   J.O. Aho has given you the answer.   
      
   Here are some one-liner commands from my notes file.   
      
      find /media/sample -type d -exec ls -al -1 -d {} + > /mnt/tem   
   /directories.txt   
      find /media/sample -type f -exec ls -al -1    {} + > /mnt/temp/filelist.txt   
      
   Just be careful when crafting material like this, that you do not   
   accidentally lose access to the area you are working in. Sometimes,   
   the order you execute a series of one-liners, has consequences.   
      
   For an amateur administrator, creating a "sample tree" for practicing   
   the commands, is a good idea. Then, only the small sample area is   
   damaged by your mistake. Rather than a large tree of files that   
   will take a lot of time to correct.   
      
   Even how a partition is mounted, matters. It's possible for example,   
   for a partition to be mounted in such a way, that gratuitous usage   
   of "sudo" does not work. So the very first thing you do as an   
   amateur admin, is check how a partition is mounted, the exact command used.   
   To see if the mount happens to be a "tricky one". An obvious case of a   
   tricky mount, is a read-only mount, where you won't be changing any   
   permissions or ownership, any time soon. You can remount rw to fix that.
