Dear Mr. Alexander Lancey,
I am now using "sudo nautilus" and found it convenient. Thanks a lot, With sincere regards, Colonel SC Sood(Retd) ________________________________ From: Alexander Lancey <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 26 August, 2010 5:30:59 AM Subject: [Bug 624338] Re: Can not copy files to /var/www/ and other locations in the system using gnome You could always sudo nautilus. But what I do is add a .desktop file to gksudo it. Place this in /usr/share/applications to have an entry under the Administration menu. ** Attachment added: "Browse Filesystem.desktop" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/624338/+attachment/1519288/+files/Browse%20Filesystem.desktop -- No easy method to write to write-protected locations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624338 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: software-center At present copying of files to protected locations, e.g. /var/www/ or other such locations, is to be done using command lines in a terminal taking super user powers with sudo command. It should be possible to copy the files using gui copy and paste. Where root/su permissions are required the system should ask for authentication/password. Same applies to changing of file permissions.
