Adding User to var/www/folder


Hyun

Recommended Posts

Hello Linux Users,

 

I made a new user called patch which is under the patch group. I want the user patch to be able to have full permissions in /var/www/folder. I tried using the chgrp patch /var/www/folder command line but it doesn't work (I've tested via WinSCP).

 

Thanks.

 

P.S.: I use Debian Lenny.

sudo chgrp -R patch /var/wwww

 

1. Run it as root, hence the 'sudo'

2. Recursively change the group, so 'patch' has full access to subfolders.

if you want full access you'd need to set the group to have read write execute on that folder too.

 

chmod -R 77x /var/www

(where x is the level of access you want for others)
