Dear Friends, I am using Fedora 14, I need to change the directory of a folder(myweb) from "\home\user\desktop" to "\var\www\html" . Please give the Fedora commands to do this.

You would not normally be able to write to /var/www/html as an ordinary user. The following command in a terminal will move myweb for you if you provide the root password:

Code:

su -c 'mv /home/user/desktop/myweb /var/www/html'

(And note that the path separator is a forward slash '/' -- unless MSDOS and MS Windows.)
