well you should be able to do that in your home dir.
post an ls -l of the dir you're trying to create files / directories in.
also post the output of pwd

btw: is there a easy way to see the date when I took the photo? ls -lah gives me the daten when I burned them. I always copy them back to my digicam ...

thanks for any help

try chmod u+w *.jpg
that will give konstantin write permissions for all the jpg files.
