regarding changing group and ownership

i am able to change the mode using chmod and able to change permission.

but i am not able to change group and ownership. getting as invalid

can any one help me regarding this .

You do not say what command you are using. The chown command can be used to change both personal and group ownership, but only by root. Ordinary users cannot change the personal ownership of their files. This is to prevent malicious programs with the SUID bit set from giving themselves root ownership and therefore root access.

The chgrp command can be used by any user to change the group ownership to any group that user belongs to.

thanks for your reply

i thought to not to mention command as it was common.

i got the answer now

i am not a root user so oly not able to change.

hi little old lady can i know what is meant by jargon
