How can move directory to filesystem..

Asked by chandima

Hello....
my os is UBUNTU 10.04. I want to move folder name "usb" to my filesystem(root)/proc/bus/ . The folder named "usb" is in my home folder. when I typed "sudo mv usb /proc/bus/" it says " /proc/bus/ No such file or directory" Is there any way I can move "usb" folder to filesystem/proc/bus ?
PLEASE help me?

/proc is a system folder and stores info about the running system so is not technically a folder. This is how linux uses the system and treats everything as a file. Your network device is just a file and the kernel will handle stuff put into the file, the video card is also just a file, and so on.
Trying to copy real data to /proc will fail due to this. You could maybe try booting to livecd, mounting the partition and copying the data over, if it makes the system misbehave simply boot to the cd again and undo what you did.

Thanks!
 now I know what is the real situation about the question. I tried livecd but it won't work. Eciadsl driver needs that file "usb" to detect the modem. So i have to find another way to connect with internet. Ur answer showed me that I am try to do wrong thing.
Thanks again.........
