Linux File Properties Change command

Chown

When we want to change the owner of a file, the user we use must be the owner of the file and be a member of the target group, or Superuser. Only super users can change the owner of the file.

Chown Syntax:

chown [Options] ... Owner [: [Group]] file ...

Example: The owner of the A.txt file is changed to Yonghu user;

Method:

Chown user files or directories #<== only authorized users

Chown: Group file or directory #<== only authorized. Equivalent to "chgrp group file or directory"

Chown User: Group file or directory #<== represents authorized users and groups

Emphasize:

1) where the colon ":" can use the dot number "." Alternative

2) The user and group name to be authorized must be the actual existence of the Linux system.
