RealPlayer Plugin
I have the Realplayer 8 for Linux installed, but am trying to copy the version 9 codecs and plugins over to the user/lib/realplayer8, and gave me an access denied message.
How do I gain access to all my folders?

You shouldn't have access to all directories; that's why you run as a user instead of root. When you want to do things that require root access, use su to switch temporarily.
However, don't use Realplayer if you're running Linux; use MPlayer instead:

I need the browser plugin for Netscape 7.1 to view realplayer content. Thats why i needed to update the codecs and plugins.
What do you type to move the codecs/plugins into the directory, after you type su?

To gain root access, then just execute mv <yourfiles> /usr/libCode:su -
