Answer 1

Open the following file with this command : nano /etc/passwd Then search for the user name : ctl+w username in my case anass

then copy the two numbers in right of the user name anass:x:1000:1000 , in this case 1000:1000

Connect with root and type this command : chown -R 1000:1000 yourdirectory chow mean change owner
