PS: Unlikely that changing files and directories recursively can be done, if the USB device is a Windows thingy. I guess changing the privileges for the mount point directory is the only thing that is needed. OTOH if the OP want's to change the privileges for the files that should be copied to the USB Windows thingy, than -R might make sense. Anyway, considering to use chown instead might be better. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
