how to get edit access to /var/www/html on apache2 server on Ubuntu

I have tried to get edit access to the /var/www/html folder on my apache2 server to edit html and php files. It is possible to edit trough the terminal with sudo command, but I want a graphical editor that is easier to use. I have downloaded BlueFish but it is not possible to navigate to the /var/www/html folder because it is read only.

to do that you can change the folder permissions, the way

sudo chown $USER -R /var/www/html/

I guess that you don't have right permission and you don't own this directory.

sudo chown -R group:user /var/www/html
sudo chmod 775 -R /var/www/html

Instead of group:user put your group and user name, default username:username, for instance 

 sudo chown -R safirfox:safirfox /var/www/html

Start gedit using sudo at the command line and then edit graphically:

sudo gedit /var/www/html/index.html

sudo gedit
