Go buy a basic book from Whitcoulls, Borders or the like. Or read the rute book as others have suggested.
I bought a good book when I started, never looked back. And do NOT change the ownership and permissions on your /var/www/html like others have suggested. Your distro maker has thought carefully about what permissions should exist there, stick with it and learn the correct way to write to a directory, and what ownership and permissions files in that folder should have. The commands you are likely to need are cp (copy) , mv (move), su (superuser or change user), sudo (change user for the next command), ls -l (list a directory with full details).
