I'm trying to move a particular file to the restricted location /home/irshad/.local/share/Steam/Backups
(I cannot access the .local
folder since I cannot see it in the file manager). Can anyone provide me
the terminal command to do that?

Use mv
command like this
mv /path/to/YOUR_FILE /home/irshad/.local/share/Steam/Backups/
If your file name or directory name has a space in its name quote its path:
mv "/path/to/YOUR FILEorDIRECTORY" "/home/irshad/.local/share/Steam/MY Backups/"

should it be like this? "mv /media/irshad/7650B08250B04B1F/Dota 2/home/irshad/.local/share/Steam/Backups" Oct 8, 2014 at 13:49

@gambler420 Then use this
mv "/media/irshad/7650B08250B04B1F/Dota 2" /home/irshad/.local/share/Steam/Backups/

If you try the mv command and it says "Permission Denied" then use the sudo su command and then try it.
