open a terminal

type:

gksu nautilus

This will open up nautilus file explorer with root permission - so caution required!

get to the folder you files are in - CTRL+A to select them all CTRL+C to copy

navigation to /var/www and CTRL+V to paste

There is one tool I really like: bluefish.

Get it from package manager.

Go to terminal, and type:

Sudo bluefish

Now you can edit the file in /var/www

and magic you can see your code in colors and another tools.

It would be simple to have you public folder (ie /var/www) pointed to a folder under your home folder... but that is a tutorial all of it's own

So if you need to get work done rather than server config-ing you might want to leave it until after the weekend
