I am new to Zorin os 7, and I managed to download some wallpapers. I want to put these wallpapers into the same folder that contains the wallpapers that come with Zorin. When I selected the wallpapers and chose Move to and than select the folder for the destination, I get a message that permission is denied. The destination is /usr/share/backgrounds, when I click on properties the permissions for the directory are:
Owner - root
access - create and delete files
Group - root
access - access files
Others -
access files
and at the bottom it shows - You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions.
What do I have to do to copy the files to this folder?
Sorry for not posting a screenshot, I have not worked out how to do that yet.
I tried cutting and then pasting but that did work as I was not giving the option to paste at the destination folder.
I tried to use the terminal to move the files but I was having some problems using the cd command until I realised that the names of the folders is case sensitive. But somehow I do not think using the move (mv) command will work because of the permissions of the destination folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
