Directory Protection Change All

I have login in as root and used ftp to copy over loads of files from a Windows PC.

However I should have logged in as user1, but it took 20 hours to ftp the files across.

How can I set the properies of these files and directories to user1; w r x etc.

The group that user1 is in is 'testsystem'

The groups that root is in is 'other root bin sys adm uucp mail tty lp nuucp daemon'

Is this possible or do I have to delete and start again.

I know a little about Unix O/S.

Many thanks,

Andy.

If they are all in one directory, and there is nothing else in that directory:

Code:
cd /your/directory
chown -R user1 *
