[code:1]
[seb@localhost seb]$ chgrp -Rv seb music
group of `music' retained as seb
group of `music/wheel_of_fortune.mid' retained as seb
group of `music/TV Theme - Wheel Of Fortune.mp3' retained as seb
group of `music/new' retained as seb
group of `music/new/1.jpg' retained as seb
group of `music/new/1.wmv' retained as seb
group of `music/new/4.mpg' retained as seb
group of `music/new/5.mpg' retained as seb
[seb@localhost seb]$
[/code:1]
-R => recursive
-v => verbose, tell me all that is happening.

its the same for chown

[code:1]
[seb@localhost seb]$ chown -Rv seb music
ownership of `music' retained as seb
ownership of `music/wheel_of_fortune.mid' retained as seb
ownership of `music/TV Theme - Wheel Of Fortune.mp3' retained as seb
ownership of `music/new' retained as seb
ownership of `music/new/1.jpg' retained as seb
ownership of `music/new/1.wmv' retained as seb
ownership of `music/new/4.mpg' retained as seb
ownership of `music/new/5.mpg' retained as seb
[seb@localhost seb]$
[/code:1]

for more, do

chown --help

You can also use only chown:

chown user:group <file/directory>

You can also use only chown:

chown user:group <file/directory>

Andreas

or add -R for recursive

i.e. chown -R user:group <directory>

this way all files and subfolders will be changed!
