I am working on Ubuntu. And need to copy perforce plugin file to jenkins/plugins directory. Since the directory is owned by jenkins user; I want to logon as jenkins user to do any work in this directory. How can I get jenkins user’s passowrd? Am I going in the right direction? In general what is the preferred method of copying files to a directory in Ubuntu not owned by current user.
