to change ownership (unlock):- # chown -R $me:$me $lockedDirectory Where # means as root $me is your username $lockedDirectory e.g. # chown -R scott:scott /home/scott/somedirectory/somedirectory I'm guessing it's not beneath directories owned by you or you'd be able to copy it... to cp $lockedDirectory/* you'll need to run as root *and* copy it somewhere beneath /home/$me Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
