remove 'lock' from a folder
 

Hey everyone,

i made a folder with the terminal, but it shows a little lock on it. when i try to save or drag n drop folders into it i get an error. it says permission denied... how can i fix this?

Did you make it using sudo? And if so, where?

Hi,
Seems you don't have permissions to move the folder you have created

Open a terminal..Go to the path you have created a folder then do the below said through a root user

chmod 777 <Folder name>

seems you are trying to drag and drop a folder which you have created through a terminal in GUI...

the command i used was a sudo yes!
this is the command i used
this folder show the little lock, and says access denied when i want to save or drag n drop a file there

sudo su
Enter password
chmod 777 /home/joe/Documents/Folder1

now try moving the folder

@ravikiran189 problem solved!!! thanks a lot!!!

You don't need to use sudo to create directories in a directory you own..

Yeah you can create a folder as normal user only..in this case i suggested as he created a folder with sudo privileges
