I am trying to use chown -R to selectively change permissions on files.
A series of files are contained in many folders under the root data folder. No
files are stored in the data folder itself.
Running
chown -R user:group /data/*.dat
run
from /data generates an error indicating no files match. If I move a
.dat
file into /data the ownership changes in that folder but not those
below.
chown -R user:group /data/*
works as expected
Is there a way to selectively change files recursively ?
Thanks
