Not exactly. You used "*.*" which would not apply to all files but only 
to those with names with a "." except those which start with a ".". And 
probably you wanted to write "$file" instead of "{file}". I think it 
would be easier to use the chown -R option for the current folder and it 
would really change all files, even recursively.

You could simply omit it - then the command would only change the group. 
That would make the command:

chown -R :tech .

And it would also avoid the problem of having possibly too many file 
names.
