rm: execute permission denied in AIX

Hello All,

We have an existing ssh set-up between 2 Unix servers ( Server A and Server B). Recently, we've had a problem where we cannot delete files (via app engine and even manually, after connecting thru ssh) on Server B. We manage Server A but Server B is handled by a different group, as a result, we cannot look into the permission settings of our user. The administrators of Server B said that all the settings are in place, but can you help me on what settings we should actually check? I would like to ask for screenshots of these from Server B admin.

My next plan is to generate a new keypair and try if it can help at least. Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Chip Ahoys

If something would be wrong with your keys, you get another error regarding keys and ssh etc.
For deleting you usually need write permissions, so check with ls -la if there is a "w" for "others" or if your user is member of the "group" owning that file has write permissions.
