Question Transferring files Permission issues in remote box
Hi,

I have a directory 'data' which is a symbolic link to /var/opt/store/rawdata/appname on a remote box. I am not able to SFTP some files from my local box to this dir. in the remote box. Also I am not able to copy or move the files in the robot id home dir. in remote box to this data dir which is in robot id home dir. The following are the errors messages which I encountered for each approach.
On the remote box
cp or mv: cannot create regular file `data/file.csv': Permission denied
From my local box
scp: ./data/file.csv: Permission denied
sftp: Couldn't get handle: Permission denied

The following are the permissions of the dirs.
data has permissions
lrwxrwxrwx 1 robotid users 27 Jun 4 13:48 data -> /var/opt/store/rawdata/appname
appname has permissions
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 28 17:47 appname
rawdata has permissions
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 28 17:47 rawdata
store has permissions
drwxrwxr-x 31 root root 4096 May 28 17:47 store
opt has permissions
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jun 21 2005 opt
var has permissions
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Jun 4 2004 var

I tried out everything at my end to put the files into data dir but with no luck.
Can anyone point to reason why this is happening.

Thanks in advance.

When you say link to a remote host, you mean on a mounted NFS filesystem, yes?

Hi
Both transfering files by SFTP or by commands require sufficent previlege to access directories and to modify them.
From the target path or it is parent directory, try to launch tho commands
PHP Code:
ls -ltr 
To see the owner and the group to witch it belongs. Then if you have the possibility to connect as owner, you will be able to copy in it else no solution.

Cheers
