      Hello,

      I am using fedora 22. I have read access only on the fedora VMWare server. I am using one software on this server. I could not modify my privileges. I would like to copy some stuff from the fedora virtual server to it's software folder. However, I am not able to copy it because of read only access. Have you ever get this situation before? How did you solve this? Please share your experience with me.

      Thank you in advance.

        why not ask the system admin to do that for you?

        A properly setup server will not allow you to do what you want with the permissions you have.

          This. You cannot get around your permissions, or there would be no point in them.

            Copy/Paste ?

            What are you stealing exactly, i think you can always copy with read access. what i mean with copy is openeing the file and copy the contents

              If you have a valid business reason to copy the files just ask your system administrator. They will either give you the permissions or move the files for you.

                Because he knows that he shouldn't be accessing the data in question. Must be valuable.

                @rhya stop trying to steal information and get back to work.

                  Do it as root.

                    Fedora 31 is current. F22 is insanely ancient.
