linux: change ownership and permission for file or directory via ssh

February 7th, 2008 Posted in linux, server by dreamluverz

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
