this should actually be in the game-thread but its really not that related

im trying to get .zip files in an archive: /usr/share/games/stepmania/Songs

so when I downloaded it (legally!) using mozillas stuff and try to save the file in /usr/share/games/stepmania/Songs it says "Permisson denied"

and so I downloaded it on my home directory and, how do I now move it to /usr/share/games/stepmania/Songs ??

thx!

Which user is moving the files? I bet you need to have "root" user or "games" group permissions to edit that directory.

thx for the fast reply!!

well is it possible for a regular user to get full permisson for /usr/share/games/stepmania/Songs (Songs is a directory to put my files in so that I can play the game).

I just want to be able to have full control on just that directory so that I can move and edit files, sorry if I didnt make it more clear

thx
