SSH commando to change file ownership

[Divvy]

Hello friends,

Can someone help me?
Im having problems in some files at my FTP.
When I access to my FTP I notice that some files have ownership 522 518 and others have ownership 99 99.
The correct is 522 518 and I would like to change all files in my uploaded folder to 522 518.

Can someone please tell me what is the SSH command to make that happen?

Thank you

Change ownership to one file

chown user:group /path/to/file

Change ownership recursively inside a folder

chown -R user:group /path/to/folder/

btw, chown - change ownership

Thank you!

So If my usarname is for example test, the command will be:

chown -R test:group /public_html/uploaded

right? or I need to change group to something?

You also need to put in the right group -- if you're running cPanel for example, it's the same as the user. In your case, chown -R 522:518 public_html/uploaded should work
