    Default Having trouble moving a file in linux

    I want to move the scph1001.bin, i own several old psones, so bite me, from one folder into the BIOS file in my EpsxE emulator, so i use the comand line and :

    mv matt/scph1001.bin usr/local/game/epsxe/bios

    but it comes back with this error :

    mv: cannot stat `matt/scph1001.bin': No such file or directory

    but obiously it is in that directory, hence screenshot:

    Okay it looks like your not specifying the complete path,am I to assume you are in your users home directory,if so you need to remove matt from your path probably because you are referring to the directory you are already in.Or yoiu could specify an absolute path.It also appears only root can write to that dir,use sudo

    sudo mv /home/matt/scph1001.bin /usr/local/game/epsxe/bios.

    What no beryl?lol
    please somebody correct me if I'm wrong!

    mv: cannot move `/home/matt/scph1001.bin' to `/usr/local/game/epsxe/bios': No such file or directory

    thats what i get when i do that, and my beryl/compiz was all screwy, so im not using it, and im going to cut the grass, so i might not be back for a little while

    If the file is on your desktop not in the folder matt then that needs to be in you path.
    Run: locate scph1001.bin so we can see where it is from the command line.just drag the bios to the desktop and try to copy it from there.

    Ok, so im a F**king genius, all i did was modify the original .zip file, to have the Scph1001.bin, in the zip, so when the zip file overwrote the other files, BAM, on scph1001.bin in the bios file !!!

    'sudo nautilus' will give you root abilities in the file browser.
