[The Dude]

I want to change ownership few files which are into a folder. There is almost 15 files. so is there anyway to change all files ownership by giving single ssh command? or i have to chown each of files

Recursive chown?

chown -R owner_name /path/to/files/*

This would change the ownership of of all files in the /path/to/files/ folder to "owner_name". I think.
