# chown user:group filename

Where 'use'r is who you want to give priveleges to, and 'group' is their user group. This would make 'filename' owned by them.

# chown user:group -R dirname

Would give 'user' ownership of 'dirname' and go recursively through it giving them ownership to all the files within it.

The command chmod is used for changing r/w/x permissions, see 'man chmod'.
