If the file needs to be under /etc most probably it can be written only by the root user (or some similar user with special rights). You should execute

Code:
sudo su - root

therefore, so that you become root, then you can use mv (better: cp = copy) to put the file there.

Notice that you should only do the absolute necessary minimum as root. Switch to the user in a new window, move/copy the file, make sure it has the right file access permissions and then exit this window again IMMEDIATELY. The root user is allowed to do absolutely everything (this includes: destroy absolutely everything) and therefore should be used with the utmost caution.

I hope this helps.

XWarpPointer()															    XWarpPointer()

Name
  XWarpPointer - move the pointer to another point on the screen.

Synopsis
  XWarpPointer(display, src_w, dest_w, src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height, dest_x, dest_y)
	Display *display;
	Window src_w, dest_w;
	int src_x, src_y;
	unsigned int src_width, src_height;
	int dest_x, dest_y;

Arguments
  display    Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  src_w      Specifies the ID of the source window.  You can also pass None.

  dest_w     Specifies the ID of the destination window.  You can also pass None.

  src_x      Specify the x and y coordinates within the source window.	These are used with src_width and src_height to determine the rectan-
  src_y      gle the pointer must be in in order to be moved.  They are not the present pointer position.  If src_w is	None,  these  coordi-
	     nates are relative to the root window of src_w.

  src_width  Specify the width and height in pixels of the source area.  Used with src_x and src_y.
  src_height
  dest_x     Specify the destination x and y coordinates within the destination window.  If dest_w is None, these coordinates are relative to
  dest_y     the root window of dest_w.

Description
  XWarpPointer() moves the pointer suddenly from one point on the screen to another.

  If dest_w is a window, XWarpPointer() moves the pointer to [dest_x, dest_y] relative to the destination  window's  origin.   If  dest_w  is
  None, XWarpPointer() moves the pointer according to the offsets [dest_x, dest_y] relative to the current position of the pointer.

  If  src_w is None, the move is independent of the current cursor position (dest_x and dest_y use global coordinates).  If the source window
  is not None, the move only takes place if the pointer is currently contained in a visible portion of the rectangle  of  the  source  window
  (including its inferiors) specified by src_x, src_y, src_width and src_height.  If src_width is zero (0), the pointer must be between src_x
  and the right edge of the window to be moved.  If src_height is zero (0), the pointer must be between src_y and the bottom edge of the win-
  dow to be moved.

  XWarpPointer() cannot be used to move the pointer outside the confine_to window of an active pointer grab.  If such an attempt is made, the
  pointer is moved to the point on the border of the confine_to window nearest the requested destination.

  XWarpPointer() generates events as if the user had (instantaneously) moved the pointer.

  This function should not be used unless absolutely necessary, and then only in tightly controlled,  predictable  situations.	 It  has  the
  potential to confuse the user.

Errors
  BadWindow
