Its a regular need in Linux to change Ownership of Files and Folders,
From GUI it can be done with Few clicks , but it is recommended to change from Console
To Change File Ownership/ Group Ownership we musst be in a privileged zone
For this Go to Super user mode first, and create a test file say file1
[user1@fedora12 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@fedora12 user1]# touch
Now change ownership of this file using chown
[root@fedora12 user1]# chown user1 file1
[root@fedora12 user1]# ls -l file1
-rw-r–r– 1 user1 root 0 2009-12-22 15:31 file1
Now Change Group Ownership using chgrp
[root@fedora12 user1]# chgrp user1 file1
[root@fedora12 user1]# ls -l file1
-rw-r–r– 1 user1 user1 0 2009-12-22 15:31 file1
[root@fedora12 user1]#
