Editing files

[Guest]

Hey.
I'm new to kubuntu, very new. Its good, but there are problems that I can't solve
for instance, I can't edit any of the files on one of my hdd. it says access denied. I have permission to do so cos under permissions It says my login name. how can I make it so I can delete or move files

Re: Editing files

No --- the name given when you do a "ls -l" is the "ownership" (not the "permissions"), there permissions can be read from stuff like "-wrx-rx--x" --- please put the outcome of the following command

ls -l hdd

where "hdd" stands for the drive like /media/disk1 or so. That way the community will see the "permissions" and the "ownerships" of the files on your drive.
