what order for all file rights includinb subfolders?

jaan kaer · 11-23-2003, 02:39 PM

i understand i can change the owner or righst with chown or shmod order.
but that does'nt include subfolders and all files in folder.
so, can anyone please give me exact command line for changing file owner for /home/user/stuff/, including ALL subfolders and files in directory /stuff/?

Use the -R switch (for recursive)
chown -R user:group /home/user/stuff

man chmod
man chown

Hint: -R (or -r) in most Linux commands means
--recursive

Cheers,
Tink

btw, i have another question: how do i end man pages? i mean, whenever i type man something, i can see manual, but can not reset to "normal" console mode.

hope you understood me.
