Login SSH using Putty or other programs

at # type this code
Code:
# chown -R username.username /path/to/folder/*
or parent directory
Code:
chown username.username public_html -R
for specific file
Code:
# chown -R username.username /path/to/folder/filename
Hope it helps!

To use a shortcut, if you just do chown username. Filename (the dot is important) it will set the username automatically without having to type it again! Try it out...

Especially useful for cPanel ;)
