File Permissions on recovered folders
1
I have had to recover an Ubuntu Clonezilla machine. The computer died, harddrive intact. New computer, not same model so I have transferred the folders to the public profile. I have rebuilt the machine and have Clonezilla operational, however, I am unable to move the files into the folder tree of Clonezilla to access the files...
1: the files are owned by root and sudo will not move them.
2: it tells me access is denied.
How can I change the file ownership and access to be able to move these files to the correct file path for Clonezilla to access?
Thank you

You can change the owner of a folder by sudo chown guy:guy .
If you want to change the owner also in every subfolder and every file, you may add -R
So I recommend you to use sudo chown guy:guy . -R
