changing group

[jd2004]

How can i change the group name of files in httpdocs folder?
Because i cannot delete files by my ftp programm or the filemanager in Plesk 7.5.3 when the files are in www group.

Why are they in group www and not in psacln?

Thanks,

David

The files are uploaded by a PHP script most likely. You can change the group only in shell with a root account.

SSH into the server as user root.

chown username:groupname path/filespec

Ok, clear.
But how can i do it for many (sub-)directories and files?

For example:
chown -R user:group /home/httpd/vhosts/xyz.com/httpdocs

It's nice when people answer their own questions.... -R is the recursive option.

Take caution when changing ownership on folders/files....

May I suggest that you take a little time to learn the use of Man Pages (help system) ;o)

man chown

would be your friend in this case
