Hello, When I upload a file the owner of the file are my user. Now I want to change the user to the user of a multi-maintainer-project. When I run "chown commonshelper2 <FILE>" I get the error: "chown: changing ownership of `<FILE>': Operation not permitted". What do I wrong (I test it with both user and chmod 777) Viele Grüße Jan

under modern Unix systems, you cannot "give away" a file to another user, because this was a common source of security issues. instead, just copy the file as the user "commonshelper2", and the new file will be created with the desired ownership. - river.

you need to upload the files as your own user then copy them to the project account. - river.

Or become user, make sure everything's group-read/writable, then operate the STFP client under your normal user name, which should be in the shared tool group (type "group" on the shell, it show the shared tool name among others). Cheers, Magnus

but he was asking how to make files owned by the project user; uploading as the normal user account will make them owned by the normal user instead. - river.
