Acces denied

Hi. I want to copy some file to /srv/www/htdocs but I can`t, it says: “Acces denied”. Please tell me what to do or what command to use in terminal, the files that I want them to copy in /srv/www/htdocs are in a folder in desktop.

Thanks and sorry for my little problem, I`m novice in Linux but I want to learn more, I tried to search the internet for my problem but without any results. :frowning:

EDIT: OOOPS, SORRY FOR MY DOUBLE POSTING. :’(

In a console type su then root pass then
**chown -R yourUserName /srv/www/htdocs
