need basic help with creating folders, when I try to add or copy directories under my home directory it gives the error that my permessions are denied....not sure how to change it so I have read write permissions in the directory tree, tried modifying it under Linux file manager, but gives me the same error msg that I don't have the permission to change read write status..... thnx for any help.
 
From command line:

[WIKI]sudo su
{type your password}
change to directory (e.g. cd /home/servuo ) (optional, but you can view permissions with "ls -alh")
chmod 777 /home/servuo (or whatever your root folder is...)
exit (to get out of sudo mode)[/WIKI]
