Both the answers given in the previous posts should work, just beware of the correct syntax.
What do you mean by "locked"? If that means that you cannot modify them, use chmod u+w /path/to/photos/* this will actually make writable ALL files in the directory. If instead you're NOT the owner, use chown -R john:john /path/to/photos this assumes that your username is john - you can find out with the whoami command. No need to quote the user name and no space after the colon. If you're not the owner of the directory, you might need to do sudo chown -R john:john /path/to/photos You might also need to apply the chmod command afterwards. A very useful resource is the *nix manual 'man' that will give you more information about the various commands and their options, e.g. man chown man chmod ...and even man man Best, -- Stefano Fortune of the day: "You will stop at nothing to reach your objective, but only because your brakes are defective."
