Duplicate folder then set Group, Owner & Permissions Recursively in WinScp.

[William]

Hello, again...

I am already able to duplicate files/folders from one domain and clone to another.

What i am still not sure about is how to set "Group, Owner & Permissions" recursively inside that folder with out hosing it.

The folder is duplicated from a domain with the correct permissions "chmod" already on the "files 644" and "folders 755".

Where i am dropping the ball is on the "Group & Owner Permissions" which need to be set recursively to the specific domain that I cloned the folder too.

I keep hosing the permissions. How can I use winscp in the gui interface to just chown recursively and not touch chmod permissions? I must not be checking a box or something right.

Would I add a custom command like this and edit it every time before I use it in winscp?

chown mydomain.mydomain -R /home/mydomain/public_html/

If this is correct how would I only chown the one folder down.

Example: public_html/modules

William if you figure it out please let us know here, as I did every file and directory one at a time last time I used root. It taught me not to work with the root login any longer. I always login with the account I am working on now. It is easy to setup and save multiple logins with WinSCP.

I have the correct chmod commands for winscp! I still need to figure out the chown commands for winscp but putty will do for chown atm.
