Folder transfer Mac OSX to Ubuntu 12.04
I'm trying to transfer files from my old Mac OSX to my new laptop running Ubuntu 12.04.
I've drag and dropped the folders onto an external HDD formatted as HFS+.
When I drag and drop these folders onto my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop (will sort them later) some of the folders transfer fine whilst others do not as either
a.The folder "xxxxxxxxxxxxx" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it or b. There was an error copying the file into /home/xxxx/Desktop/xxxxx and under more info says Error opening file: Permission denied.
1) If it's a matter of alt-F2 and running gksu nautilus why do some folders require this whilst others do not? 2) what's the underlying basis for this need? 3) is there an easier recommended way for transferring my files over from MacOSX to Ubuntu?
Thanks in advance T
