Beginner question

Hello!
Here is my problem : I would like to change the group property of a file on a unix servor (command chgrp) from a PC under Windows. Is it possible? And if yes, what should I do?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

how are you trying to do this? over a telnet session or such like, or with network neighborhood?

for the former, it's the same as on the machine itself, unsurprisingly

chgrp groupnameorGID /location/filename

pretty sure it's NOT possible over samba, as windows does it's usual trick of sticking it's fingers in it's easrs and going

wait for it

any second

NEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR NEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR CAN'T HEAR YOU

Well, actually, I can't login with telnet. The FTP fonctions work well, but impossible to use telnet. Could telnet be forbidden on the servor?

change the

disable = yes

line in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet

to.. the obvious.
