Tutorial showing you how to give an Ubuntu user the right to edit and add files in the /var/www folders.
Simple trick in Ubuntu to become root if your user has the sudo group assigned to it (this way you won’t need to type sudo in front of every command)
sudo -i
If you need to see all of the groups assigned to a user simply type the following into the Terminal:
groups username
To display all the groups on your Ubuntu system just type:
groups
There are two ways to find the owner and group of a directory in Ubuntu:
First way:
ls -l /path/to/file
The 3rd field outputted is the user and and the fourth is the group
drwxr-xr-x 2 user group 4096 Feb 7 01:17 foldername
Second way:
stat -c "%U %G" /path/to/file
This will return
user group
