    i have 10 sites, and each one has a different ftp access (Example: user01, user02)
    but the files that are in the server are assigned to "user - master" "group - master" because of a mistake, so i cant change stuff with my ftp program.

    i have simple control panel, and i can change the permissions of user and group to the folders and files but just one by one.
    what can i do? i want to be able to change a folder permissions of user and group, and with just one click change all the permissions from the entire folder.

    by command line it would be easier.

    chown for change of owner/user
    or
    chgrp to change the group.

    To change the permissions of all files inside of a folder you can do this;

    Login via SSH to your command line.
    Navigate to the folder you want to set permissions
    chmod -fR user:group foldername

    All items inside that folder will be changed.
