chown & chgrp
The article discusses the Linux commands 'chown' and 'chgrp', which are used to manage file ownership and group assignments. It provides examples of how to change file owners and groups, including recursive changes for directories. Best practices for using these commands are also highlighted to avoid incorrect ownership issues.
- ▪The 'chown' command changes the owner of a file or directory.
- ▪The 'chgrp' command changes the group associated with a file while keeping the owner the same.
- ▪Recursive changes can be made using the '-R' option for both commands.
