Hi folks
Hello,
Can any body tell me how to change the owner of a file ??????
I have written this script .......
unless (chown $uid , $gid , $filename)
{
die "chown failed :$!";
}
chown $uid, $gid, $filename or die "chown failed: $!";
this code will give me the error you can't change " permission denied "
can any body tell me , how to over come this error
You must be have permission to chown the file and apparently you don't
so you need to either:
a) run the script as a user that does have permission
b) ask whoever has permission of it to give you a copy or loosen its
permissions for you.
The whole idea of permissions is to not let changes (IE chmod) be doen
to a file by people who are nto allowed (IE you)
