Linux newbie question - permissions
Hello,

I have an image that is owned by nobody

-rw------- 1 nobody bin 2355 Mar 25 11:32 catalog/images/49a.jpg

How can I chage the ownership so that I can copy it to another directory.

Any help is appreciated.

-roy

If you have root:

chown root img.jpg
chgrp root img.jpg
chmod 755 img.jpg

You should be able to do the same if you are a user.

Then do the above, only with your username.

chown username img.jpg
chgrp username img.jpg
chmod 755 img.jpg

You should be able to do that. If not, you might call your isp and tell them, and they should be able to change it.
