How do I move a folder to a protected folder in Ubuntu 10.10
I have run into a problem where I need to move a folder of web files from the Desktop to the htdocs folder. It seems that my php files will not properly execute until this has been done. The file browser returns a "permission denied" error when I attempt to move this folder. How do I get this to work? I do not get any "password" inquiries. I am new to Ubuntu and am really enjoying it greatly. I am not familiar with any of the Linux "command line" scripts yet. I am clearly missing something that I am not familiar with yet! I believe I may need to somehow become a "root" level user on the file browser and I have not been able to find out how to do this.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 - with the gnome desktop.
I have also tried using the KDE File Manager (Super User Mode) with the same results.
This is my personal laptop and I thought I had full access (I am the only user - ever!) although the system states that I do not "own" these folders (very funny).
Source: user/Desktop/
Destination: opt/lampp/
Thank you.
