Moving files from Desktop to Usr/Java

I have a file I need to move from the Desktop folder to the usr/java folder.

• What I have tried:
  

  I tried using the Nautilus Files utility and got a "permission denied" error.
  I tried using mv, and got Cannot Stat '/desktop/jre-8u241-linux-x64.tar.gz': No such file or directory.

Your desktop is in /home/your_user_name/Desktop. Letters' register is important in Linux systems. desktop and Desktop are different folders. Also, run Nautilus as root from terminal, if you want it to work with root user's folders.

If you want to move files into root user's folders using terminal, use sudo command:

$ sudo mv /home/your_user_name/Desktop/jre-8u241-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/java/
