Get the access to the folder file system/root

Question

I am using a live version of Xubuntu on USB for a extraordinary maintenance of my PC. I have to copy a single file inside the folder file system/root.

Currently I can browse the complete folder file system, but the root folder in it is marked with a cross and it prompts permission denied while trying to open it or if I try to copy file inside it.

Solution

use terminal and use this comand to copy

sudo cp -R file-need-to-copy-path  path-of-folder-where-you-want-to-paste

or you can change the permission of that folder by using

sudo chmod 777 path-of-folder
