I know exactly what I need to do, I have the files to do it, but I can't seem to get into the directory through the terminal to execute the commands :-/. I could locate my way around most directories, but I couldn't copy the files there.... but I could sure copy it to my desktop and documents etc... but I couldn't cd into there for some odd reason. It pissed me off last night :P.

If you get that message, sudo won't help.
