How do I change the ownership of a file in unix?
-
You have to have root priviledges to change the owner of a file or directory that you do not own, for example as root user, to change owner of the file "afile" from unixbod to sysadmin do:
[root@venus unixbod]# ls -l afile -rw-rw-r−− 1 apache unixbod 0 Sep 21 21:46 afile [root@venus unixbod]# chown unixbod afile [root@venus unixbod]# ls -l afile -rw-rw-r−− 1 unixbod unixbod 0 Sep 21 21:46 afile
