Ownership

Does anyone know how to change a file´s ownership?

from command line as root

Code:

---

chown (username): /file/location

---

for example

Code:

---

chown andy: /etc/ircd

---

For the record, the colon after the user's name is not necessary. What that does is also change the file to the user's group.

While it is recommended, if, for some reason, you don't want to do that, you could just say:

Code:

---

chown alex my_file

---

Thanks for the help.
