simple question - how to chown ALL files in a dir?
 

how do you change the owner of al lthe files in a directory in one command...coz its really annoying ot change each file separately...

Check "man chown", :) and look for possible options. :)

All you need to do is

chown (username) *

and all files in the current directory will be changed to (username) as the owner.

chown -R is the way forward...cant beleive i asked bout that...o well...thanks

;) :D :eek: :o :scratch: :Pengy:

With -R you will change all files in the sub directories as well and
not just in the current directory.

Just so you know. :)
