   Hi
   

   ---

   
   How can i change the permissions from root to nginx using ssh?
   
   I know that i can do it on a folder using:
   
   

   Code:

   chown -R nginx:nginx public

   But how can i include all folders and subfolders and all files in the public?
   
   Thanks

   Nginx 1.25.x

   MariaDB 10.x

   the -R command makes it recursive so every directory and file within public gets the chown applied

   that command would apply to everything within the current directory and all sub directories and files within current directory
