Not able to rename file

MANISH KU · #1 (**permalink**) 06-27-2007

Hi,

I have a shell script that is run by user x on daily basis, which attempts to rename one file that is created by user y and user y have changed the mode of the file to 777, so that means user x have all the previlages to modify that file.
But the problem is that whenever user x try to rename file created by user y it gets permission denied error.

To rename a file, you must have write access to the directory that contains this file.
