Make the current user own everything inside the folder (and the folder itself):

Use chown to change ownership and chmod to change rights.

As Paweł Karpiński said, use the -R option to apply the rights for all files inside of a directory too.

Note that both these commands just work for directories too. The -R option makes them also change the permissions for all files and directories inside of the directory.

For example

will change ownership (both user and group) of all files and directories inside of directory and directory itself.

Create Share On Remote Computer Command Line

will only change the permission of the folder directory but will leave the files and folders inside the directory alone.

As enzotib mentioned, you need to use sudo to change the ownership from root to yourself.

Edit:

Note that if you use chown <user>: <file> (Note the left-out group), it will use the default group for that user.

If you want to change only the group, you can use:

IkkeIkke

If you prefer, this can be done with a GUI as well. You will need to open Nautilus as root to do so. Para 3 s35 vn review pdf. Press Alt + F2 to access the 'Run Applications' dialog and enter gksu nautilus

Next, browse to and right click on the folder you would like to modify. Then, select 'Properties' from the context menu. You can now select the user or group that you would like to be the 'Owner' of the folder as well as the permissions you would like to grant them. Finally, press 'Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files' to apply the changes recursively.

Though it seems this does not always work for some operations in a deep folder tree. If it does not work use the appropriate terminal command.

If it's owned by root you can do this

Since ./blabla owned by root you need to gain root privileges to change that. That's what sudo will do. The -R option for the chown command says: this directory and everything in it recursively.

First chmod -R can mess up your system permissions if you do it on system file and directories by mistake.

Second chmod -R can mess up flags in those folders and is not a good idea to give permissions on some folders to all the users.

You should try and chown instead:

How to Share Files Using Command Line?

It’s not just sharing files. You should enable network discovery, enable firewall, viewing shared files, and connecting to share folder or create a map network drive. So let’s do it step by step with Windows PowerShell.

1. Change Computer Name with Command

When your Windows installation has finished, at the final step ask you set a name. In the network if the computer name is not related to computer, it should be change to find it easy. The Rename-Computer powershell command work exact for changing a computer name.

Firs type “hostname” command to know the current computer name. Then type “Rename-Computer -NewName Win10 -Restart” and press enter.

In command, Win10 is the new name of my computer. The –restart switch will restart the system after renamed.

2. Assign IP Address with Command

A computer in a network need to have an IP address like a mobile with a number. Assigning IP address to a computer, preform with Netsh command. I refer you to “Configure Windows IPv4 Networking with Netsh” article. Assigning IP address is covered clearly.

3. Creating Folder with Command

Creating folder is not just performed with right click and select New then Folder. Command line has few command to create a folder or directory. So let’s do it with mkdir or md command.

While Powershell is opened, type “dir” to list all directories of the current path. Then type

A folder named “ShareFolder” has been created. Type “dir” or “list” to see the created folder.

The “Ls” command is not work on command prompt, instead use dir.

4. Share a Folder with Command

Now the folder is created successfully and need to share for network. Before sharing a new folder, once type “net share” command to see what is shared currently on your system. Type net share and press enter.

There is nothing shared currently on this computer. So to share a folder, type “net share NetworkFiles=C:SharedFolder /grant:everyone, full” then press enter.

• The NetworkFiles is the share name of SharedFolder which previously created with command.
• The /grant:everyone,full assign shared permission to everyone’s group. You can assign /change or /read permission.

Note: When you assign permission, you must specify the group name or a user name.

Type “net share” to see the result.

Well don, the folder has been created and shared successfully. Now go to the next step, enabling network discovery services with command.

5. Enable Network Discovery with Command

Network discovery is a network setting that affects whether your computer can find other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see your computer. By default, Windows Firewall blocks network discovery, but you can enable it with command.

To enable network discovery, type “netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Network Discovery” new enable=Yes”

The Firewall rules are updated. Now the network discovery is enabled and you should see the computer’s name when executing “net view” command.

Net view is another useful command line utility which shows network computers.

6. Connect to Shared Folders with Command

Now I’m on another Windows which is Windows 8.1. I’m trying to connect to shared folder’s of Windows 10 through network with command line.

While you are on the other computer on the network, type “net share” to see network computers

Both Windows 10 and Windows 8 are in the same network. Type “net view Win10” to see the shared folders of Windows 10.

So let’s connect to shared folders of Windows 10 form Windows 8. Type “net use Y: Win10NetworkFiles” then press enter to create a network map drive for NetworkFiles folder.

Here is the result of executing “net use” command. It show network map drives. Read more about net use command on How to Create Map Network Drive In Windows 10 and Server? article.

Navigate to drive Y: and see what files the Windows 10 folder has?

Let’s copy some files from shared folder to our computer with command. It performs by
“copy” command. Type “copy ‘Windows 10 Reports.txt C:UsersShaisDesktop” then press enter.

See the Windows 10 Reports text file has been copied to my desktop on Windows 8. You can copy files with copy command. But to copy a full directory with it’s contents, use “xcopy” command.

That’s all share files using command line. Hope you find this article helpful and replay to this question. Command line is simple or hard?
