Stories similar to [ubuntu] need to move .zip from root

I'm trying to scp a file to /var/www because I'm playing with apache. To move the file I do scp -i <ec2-shh-key> localfile ubuntu@<ec2-instance-ip>:/var/www/fileremote.

But this gives me an error:

Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root".

How can I solve this problem?

[ubuntu] Permissions Problem 43 weeks 1 day ago

I'm running 12.04 off a flash drive in order to remove files from a fragged laptop before I reformat and start again with fresh new Ubuntu instead of the Mint I've been running for the last year or so.

I've tried chown commands, but they fail because the terminal recog

Android ADB sudo path problem 32 weeks 4 hours ago

Hi,

I was thinking of updating my 64bit 12.04LTS installation to 13.04, please could someone let me know how to do this - All the links I have seen online seem to suggest I need to move to 12.10 first?

Thanks in advance :)

I believe Nautilus is the file system in Ubuntu. When I have two tabs open, in say my home directory, how do I move between them easily?

Is there a shortcut key?

For example: In Firefox, Ctrl + Tab allows you move directly between tabs and that would be very useful in my own file system.

I have Ubuntu 12.04.1LTS, Windows 7, Slackware 14 & Fedora 18 installed in my PC. I've recently added a small SSD to it and would like to be able to boot Ubuntu (which I use more than the other OSs) from the SSD. I currently have only one partition for Ubuntu which contains everything under root ( / ) including /home.

I compiled and built PHP on Ubuntu and CentOS, but failed(when running ./configure). It said like this: "
