What is the command to move a zip file from /home/vipjag2/Desktop to /opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla15?

Thanks. I moved the zipfile but I get a message saying I don't have permission to extract the zipfile in the current directory. The zipfile is Joomla_1.5.10-Stable-Full_Package.zip

And what are the perms on the directory where you're tying to extract it?



Cheers,
Tink

do a sudo before you unzip.

The directory permissions won't let me run executables as program because I am not the owner.How can I change to be the owner? How do I unzip the sipfile from the command line? Thanks for your help.

Code:
sudo unzip <name of zipfile>
If you want to take ownership of the directory and it's contents do:
Code:
sudo chown -R <username>:<username> <directory name>
