I pasted saiarcot895's code from here: Modify Hosts File

Now my /etc/hosts file us gone with nothing in the trash either.

How do I move or copy my custom hosts file from my desktop into the /etc folder?

I copy/paste blindly terminal input suggestions as my knowledge level is n00b.

The code use copy pasted has made a backup of your original /etc/hosts in your home folder by the name of .etchosts. You can remove the file /etc/hosts and then copy the backup in there with the correct name.

sudo rm /etc/hosts

sudo cp ~/.etchosts /etc/hosts
