PS. Always use ctrl+i to get your shell autocomplete - this will save you a lot of typing.

thanks for the ctrl-i hint!

but i see the problem now: i ssh'd into home/user/mydocs and put the deb-file in there

but when i enter home/user/mydocs via terminal and check with ls, it shows me a whole lot of other folder that i didnt see when i copied the files through my computer. looks like this is a completely different mydocs?!

what i did:
copy the .deb-file to /home/user/MyDocs
start terminal
sudo gainroot, after this i was at /home/user
cd MyDocs/, after this i was at /home/user/MyDocs/
dpkg -i longassfilename.deb (<- ctrl+i didnt work on that either)
bla bla no such file or directory
