How can I change the ownership of a folder in Linux?
In Linux, the ownership of a folder or file can be changed using the chown command.
The basic syntax is chown user: group folder_name, where user is the new owner and group is the group that should own the folder.
You can use -R for recursive changes, which will affect all files and subdirectories within the folder. Example: chown -R username:groupname /path/to/folder.
Note:
- Use the chown command
- Specify the new owner and group, separated by a colon (user:group).
- Provide the folder name and path.
Example:
chown -R username:groupname /path/to/folder.
