permissions issues
Linux Newbie question:
I would like to give full permission to a user on a specific folder. username:Johnny specific folder: walker I Know that i have to use the chmod command and how i can give full access to a specific folder but the part that i'm missing is how to give the permissions full access to a user on the specific folder. Like: chmod 777 /walker I know that's a stupide question but i realy need help on this one. thanx. |
Make the user the owner and group owner of the directory:
chown -R Johnny.Johnny /path/to/walker Make sure no other user has access: chmod -R 770 In both cases the "-R" makes the action go recursively - ie all files and directories below will be changed too. |
