Login SSH using Putty or other programs

or parent directory

chown username.username public_html -R

for specific file

To change the owner of the file. You use following chown command.

# ls -lart tmpfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile

# chown root tmpfile

# ls -l tmpfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile

Use

# chown -R username.username /path/to/folder/*

And use ls -l to check chown

To use a shortcut, if you just do chown username. Filename (the dot is important) it will set the username automatically without having to type it again! Try it out...

Especially useful for cPanel
