Opening a folder with root permissions

[user 123]

I'm trying to move a tar.bz2 folder into a folder on my filesystem to extract it there, however when i try to move it i get a 'permission denied' error. How can i access the folder with root permissions to allow me to do this?

Thanks

hi,

try in terminal

gksudo nautilus
but be cautious because now you have root privileges and you can terribly mess up your system :).

Where is the folder you want to move? Where do you want to move the folder?

You can open a file browser with root permission by using

gksudo nautilus
in the terminal.

Be careful though, you might break your system using root :)
