Linux cant paste in /var/www

[ziggy46802]

I can't paste files into the /var/www/ folder, how do I make it so that I can?

I had a friend do teamviewer with me and he fixed it somehow so I know it can be done quite easily.

your ordinary user lacks the permissions to do so probably, try doing this as root? Generally files in /var/www are owned by 'www-data' or 'httpd'

If your username is 'user', try this:

sudo chown user /var/www

OR:

sudo chgrp user /var/www
sudo chmod 775 /var/www

Now you can copy a file with: cp file /var/www/

If you just want to copy 1 file without messing with permissions, use:

sudo cp file /var/www/
