Is there a way to let the owner of a file give ownership to another user.

Example;

User: root

Created folder: someDIR123

Needs owner to = anotherUSER123

Is there a way to do this with out deleteing the files?

In ssh/telnet as root:

chown username filename

If its a directory and you want all the recursive files and folders in the dir to be owned ty this user as well, use this commany:

chown username -R filename

THANKS!

It worked!
