    Virtuozzo - Mass Changing File Owner

    I moved some files from one site to another using Virtuozzo. All the files still have the old site as the owner, the only way I have found to change this is to go through each file individually and change the owner. Is there a way to mass change all the files at once using Virtuozzo?

    Not using Virtuozzo that I know of. It would be simpler in SSH and find the directory containing the files you need to change ownership and simply:

    Code:
    chown username.username -R /home/username/public_html/example/
    Be careful with the -R an only use it if you want all files under the last directory to have the same ownership. If your unsure don't hesitate to open a ticket and the techs will be happy to assist you.

    So, Les, are you saying

    Code:
    chown joeuser.joeuser -R /
    would be a bad idea?

    I wouldn't put it near the top of my list of "things to do".
