how do i get permission to move file into directory
 

i want to move the pak0.pak from /media/QUAKE2/Install/Data/baseq2 to /usr/local/games/quake2/baseq2 but it says i don't have permission, how can i give myself permission? i thought i had permission already...
thanks all

Are you running as root or as a normal user?
Are you trying to MOVE the file ... or copy it ?
ls -l /media/QUAKE2/Install/Data/baseq2 will give you the permissions on the file

You probably should look at this

LQ tutorial on file permissions.
If you don't want to read that, try man chmod and man chown, although I suggest the former.

i'm in root in konsole... but i was trying to move it....
thanks for replying...
