A bit of good news, I managed to break my Gallery last night, doing
something I was able to do before, but since Gallery updated, it stopped
the gallery from working and broke it and it took the site offline. Took
me ages to work it out, but I discovered that the file I had changed had

If you're just talking about copying and pasting text, then
absolutely... It's ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v in gnome-terminal -
or alternatively highlight text with the mouse and use the middle
mouse button to paste (which also works with anything else in
gnome...not sure about kde!)
On 24/07/200
Confused - you can copy and paste to shell, surely?
I'm sure I've done it many times. In fact I'm absolutely sure!

A relatively usual setting is 755... that means that the owner can
write but everybody else can simply read and execute.

There are three user cate

Yes, in Linux, a folder is usually known as a directory
Hi, thank you for your message. So as I understand it then, if I have a
folder on the desktop called title, that is called a directory then yes?
I wanted to copy that folder to the home directory.
So what is the difference between scp and cp ~r
I really am not getting it, its very confusing. Th
if you're trying to copy a directory you need to use "cp -r"
ie. "cp -r ~/Desktop/title ~" or similar, which will create a
directory called "title" under your home directory with the same
contents as the one on your desktop. ("~" is Linux shorthand for your
home directory)

Hi John,
Other useful commands could include
df (shows disk usage)
pwd (print working directory)
mkdir (makes a directory)
I also find lynx really useful for testing websites from remote
locations and for W3C compliance - just apt-get install lynx then you
should be able to use
lynx http://www.

Yay, that has helped immensely, I have managed to get into the server

Hi John,
ssh is a secure way of communicating with a remote server. At the most
basic level it is like having a terminal session on the remote computer,
you can use commands such as "cd" to change directory, "ls" to view the
contents of your current directory (same as "dir" in dos) "pwd" to prin

When you say running a website? Doi you mean going to a website via
the command line, using say, lynx, or are you looking to set up a
site.
To ssh, just

can edit files using nano
