    am new in ubuntu.
    I have Administrator rights.
    I want to create new folder into /opt directory.
    So i clicked(Right click). but new folder menu has disabled. I cannot create new folder.

    Then Alternatively I used terminal. then I type mkdir /opt/lampp/htdocs/dummy
    now folder name has created. but I cannot paste anything into my dummy folder.
    So I checked permission which has you are not owner.

    Please advice to me.

    Thanks.

    Either use "sudo" in the terminal, e.g.
    Code:
    sudo mkdir /opt/foo
    or run
    Code:
    gksu nautilus
    to open Nautilus with admin privileges.
