Problems creating directories when using Telnet

[Carmen Clark]

Hello. When I attempt to create my public html directory I keep getting a message that says "permission denied."

 

I am typing "mkdir public_html" next to the >. My login name is cclark. Please advise why I do not have permission to create a public html file.

 

Also when I log in it says my home = /. How do I change that?

 

I need to get an assignment in by Jan. 12 - if you could reply ASAP, I would really appreciate it.

 

Thank you,
