changing the permissions on a folder on usb drive

[ChemMeister]

Hi,

I can't change the permissions of a folder on a flsh drive I am typing

sudo chmod - R g=rwx myFolder

But the permissions remain the same, any ideas why? Thanks

The command syntax is wrong, for one thing. What filesystem is the flash drive using? If it's FAT or NTFS, chmod won't work.

Did you intend to use chown instead of chmod?

Oops I totally forgot about the filesystem, it is NTFS, so how do ii change the folder permissions then?
