I am in need to access files on the server as I need to upload new theme to Magento folder. I was following this tutorial in order to install VNC, so I can use it as FTP: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-14-04
My problem is: when I did everything and logged into server using VNC with my new created user ‘boris’ - I was trying to find the folder with all the files and I couldn’t - I was thinking that they are in ‘root’ folder - but i wasn’t able to access it due to ‘permission denied’.
Am I looking into a wrong folder or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

It’s Mac I don’t think its app, maybe something wrong with the access settings?
To access files as root on a GUI, you will need to run your file manager as root. First, install gksudo and thunar - a file manager:
sudo apt-get install gksudo thunar
Then, run the following command:
gksudo thunar
