  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question How do I change Folder/File Ownerships, recursively?

C

Craig1986

Basic Pleskian
I am working on a website, whose web files have been assigned an array of different User and Group Ownership names. I would now like to assign the following Ownership names, to the website's Web Files:

User: Jane Doe
Group: psacln

Would I be right in assuming the best approach would be to log in via SSH, using the domain subscription's SSH Credentials. Then enter the following syntax ...

Code: 
chown -R Jane Doe:psacln *

This particular server uses Debian, where a '$' appears, as soon as I log in via SSH. Does this change anything, in relation to my above approach?

Also, is there a way to be able to change Folder/File Ownership (among other tasks), by simply logging in via Root? Thus saving me having to log in to each Subscription, whenever I may wish to perform a change?
