if you logon as root and go to the directory where the file is located then just use command ls -la to list files and attributes like this

<permissions> <owner> <group> <size> <date> <file>

drwxrwxrwx 2 ora<sid> dba 512 May 23 14:47 test

to change the owner use command chown <user>:<group> <file>

Logon to the AIX system via telnet or X-terminal.

Go to the directory where the file is located with cd /<your_directory/<your_sub_dir>

give command: ls -ls <filename> to see owner and group for file.

to change owner:

chown <new_owner> <filename>

to change group:

chgrp <new_group> <filename>

some shells (not all) even allow to change owner and group at the same time:

chown <new_owner>:<new_group> <filename>
