linux: change ownership and permission for file or directory via ssh
sources: http://webtools.live2support.com/linux/chown.php, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html
I’ve tried this 2 lines in order.
chown -R -v [username] [directory/file]
chmod -R -v [permission] [username] [directory/file]
-R = recursively, including sub directories
-v = verbose, you will see it in action
Linux / Unix rmdir command
About rmdirDeletes a directory.
rmdir [OPTION]… DIRECTORY…
| –ignore-fail-on-non-empty | ignore each failure that is solely because a directory is non-empty. |
| -p, –parents | Remove DIRECTORY and its ancestors. E.g., `rmdir -p a/b/c’ is similar to `rmdir a/b/c a/b a’. |
| -v, –verbose | output a diagnostic for every directory processed. |
| –version | output version information and exit. |
rmdir mydir - removes the directory mydir
rm -r directory - would remove a directory, even if files existed in that directory.
