fadinader,
If ownership was changed by that command you can change permissions by doing this: user@host--$: chmod -R 775 /mnt/collection --------------- Next time if you need help you may start your own new post. Some people here do not welcome hitch-riding or thread-hijacking for often times this will increase confusion. Here I am not confused so I offer you a side-help. I hope this will help. Good luck. |
please post the command you used.
Any error messages? |
i used chown -R fadi /mnt/collection
- no errors - all subfolders were owned by fadi - but all files are still owned by root |
Files permission
i want to change the ownership of a folder and all things in it,
i typed "chown -R fadi /mnt/collection" - all the subfolders was owned by "fadi" - but all files are still owned by root user note that the permission of the folder is "drwxrwx---" all i want is to change all the files ownership to user "fadi" thanks |
If they're owned by root to begin with, use sudo
Code:
sudo chown -R fadi /mnt/collection |
i'm sry i did'nt know :)
an thank u for helping but i did this anywayz i started a new treat as u told me thanks |
yes i did this as root
|
Do you mean that the group owner is root, like:
fadi:root? If so, what is your group? How are your files displayed in the file listing, if you use ls -l? fadi:your_group? Whatever your group is, just use Code:
sudo chown -R fadi:your_group /mnt/collection |
root@debian:/mnt/collection/fadi# ls -l
