September 23rd, 2009 | Author: Sunny
%chown username filename
This will set the filename’s owner to username
%chown username:groupname filename
This will set the filename’s owner to username, group to groupname
with option -R, you can change owner and group of the directory recursively to its sub-directories and content.
%chown -R username:groupname directoryname
