Default user and group owner for new contents

[Inderpreet Singh]

Hi,

Is there any way that whenever any user will create any file or directory . The root will become its user and group owner by default. Basically I want this scenario in /var/www/html directory..

Please give me suggestions........

You can setgid a folder so that all files and folders created in that folder will automatically take the group ownership of that folder's owner.

chmod g+s /folder/name

You may need to sudo.

I don't know how to make all files set to a specific owner though, because Linux ignores setuid on folders.

This solved my problem partially...but still how can I do this in a way that root will become its user owner ??

chown will change the owner of a file / dir

file

chown <user> <file>

directory

chown -R <user> <dir>
