CHOWN and CHMOD

I often install, try and test new webservices like CMS, headless and static or something else on my Webserver. So I also often need to change permissions for the directories, but I alway forget. So here for heavensake are the two commands to grant permission to the www-data user (who owns the webserver) on an Linux System for a directory.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/website

sudo chmod -R 770 /var/www/website

You need to be SUDO and you need the password.

Thats all
