# The `chown` command
|
|
|
|
The `chown` command makes it possible to change the ownership of a file or directory. Users and groups are fundamental in Linux, with `chown` you can
|
|
change the owner of a file or directory. It's also possible to change ownership on folders recursively
|
|
|
|
### Examples:
|
|
|
|
1. Change the owner of a file
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
chown user file.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Change the group of a file
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
chown :group file.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Change the user and group in one line
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
chown user:group file.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Change to ownership on a folder recursively
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
chown -R user:group folder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Syntax:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
chown [-OPTION] [DIRECTORY_PATH]
|
|
``` |
