I created some files as root that I would now like to be changed to a specific user. How would I do this? I cannot go trough the files one by one as that'd just take way too much time. I would like to do this preferably trough Nautilus. If there is an easier way to do it trough console though, I'm all in.

option means recursive; i.e. including sub-directories for more information enterman chown
in a terminal.
