Those permissions (466) are really really wrong. They allow the user read-only access, but everyone else read+write access. Except that since they don't allow anyone execute (aka search) access to the directories, nobody can actually access the files inside (just read & maybe write their names).

644 makes more sense, but still leaves out execute access (needed for directories). chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX . would work, because chmod treats "X" permission as "x if it makes sense".
