User Privileges

I have used several Linux Flavors and now I need to know something. I have the ROOT user and then I have my personal user. What I need to do is for my normal user to be able to write files to directories where appearntly, only the root user has privileges.

For example, to write files to /var/www/html I have to be in SU mode or logged in as root. I would like to do this with my normal user as myself.

Can someone tell me how to set this up?

Thanks

man chown
man chmod

That's your first point of info!

Then change the ownership of the directory to your user and give that user read & write access!

There you are - BIG hints!!!
