How do I copy all the folder, subfolders and files permissions (recursively) from /www_03062018
to my new /www
?
I came across this question on Super User.
chmod --reference=RFile file
Which didn't help much, it did apply a change for the main folder /www
but didn't apply on its subfolders and files.
I have tried:
chmod -R --reference=/www_03062018 /www
and it didn't work.
My situation:
I have 2 folders on my Ubuntu machine: /www
and /www_03062018
.
/www
is a "git clone" from the production machine.
/www_03062018
is my old directory that i used to work on and upload files via FTP.
I started to use GIT and when I clone a directory its folder ownerships and file accesses settings don't get cloned along with it.
x
bit. You need some other means to maintain those file attributes.cp -R --preserve /www /www_03062018
?cp -R --attributes-only /www_03062018 /www
cp
that only copies the attributes over!
