change multiple ownership

Good afternoon,
Sir's, i owuld like to search for some advice, whats the fastest way to change multiple files ownership. For HostnameA will be their basis, for what ever files and permissions that hostnameA has, it should replicate the permissions and ownership to hostname B.

$hostname
hostnameA
$ pwd
/home/tester
$ ls -l
total 112
drwxr--r-- 3 root staff 256 Jan 03 17:18 a
drwxr-xr-x 2 tester staff 256 Jan 16 12:03 aa
-rwxr--r-- 1 tester staff 398 Jan 02 15:10 awksol.sh
$cd aa
/home/tester/aa
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 tester staff 189 Jan 16 11:37 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 tester staff 125 Jan 16 12:03 addd
-rw-r--r-- 1 tester staff 186 Jan 16 11:36 b


$hostname
hostnameB
$ pwd
/home/agent
$ ls -l
total 112
drwxr--r-- 3 root staff 256 Jan 03 17:18 a
drwxr-xr-x 2 agent staff 256 Jan 16 12:03 aa
-rwxr--r-- 1 root staff 398 Jan 02 15:10 awksol.sh
-rwxr--r-- 1 root staff 398 Jan 02 15:10 searcher.sh
$cd aa
/home/agent/aa
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 189 Jan 16 11:37 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 125 Jan 16 12:03 addd
-rw-r--r-- 1 agent staff 186 Jan 16 11:36 b
-rw-r--r-- 1 testing staff 186 Jan 16 11:36 tryout


output :
$hostname
HostnameB

NAME
chgrp - change group ownership SYNOPSIS
chgrp [OPTION]... GROUP FILE... chgrp [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE... DESCRIPTION
Change the group of each FILE to GROUP. With --reference, change the group of each FILE to that of RFILE. -c, --changes like verbose but report only when a change is made --dereference affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the symbolic link itself -h, --no-dereference affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can change the ownership of a symlink) --no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially (the default) --preserve-root fail to operate recursively on `/' -f, --silent, --quiet suppress most error messages --reference=RFILE use RFILE's group rather than specifying a GROUP value -R, --recursive operate on files and directories recursively -v, --verbose output a diagnostic for every file processed The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R option is also specified. If more than one is specified, only the final one takes effect. -H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it -L traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered -P do not traverse any symbolic links (default) --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit EXAMPLES
chgrp staff /u Change the group of /u to "staff". chgrp -hR staff /u Change the group of /u and subfiles to "staff". AUTHOR
