    Hi

    After few hiccups I successfully moved locally developed wordpress install online. The site works fine. But…

    FTP shows my old files having different group/owner then the new files.
    I can delete uploaded files through wp media page, but not from ftp.

    The folder where wp is running has same group/owner id then my old files, but all recursive files/folders are showing different group.

    I don’t have shell access to hosting.
    My guess is to ask them to ‘chown’ something

    Local system: wp 4.0 – windows 8.1 with xampp 3.2.1

    Thank you for your time

    So I guess the new setup inherited windows user ownership and is forcing it to new files.

    My question: If we chown all the new files to the old user/group will it work or break, and are new files going to get the right owner status?
