simple problem...not able to use mkdir, touch..
11.00 system. i have only "user" account.
i am trying to copy a simple file from my windows to that machine by using "winSCP"...
its telling that "permission denied", even in my home directory.
in / i am not able to "touch logo_file"
its telling "touch: logo_file cannot create"
$mkdir test_dir
mkdir: cannot access .: Permission denied
mkdir's permission:
-r-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 20480 Nov 7 1997 mkdir
touch's permission:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 20480 Nov 7 1997 touch
ie, read and execute for me.
thanks,...poitns given...

Re: simple problem...not able to use mkdir, touch..
You are right, this is probably easy.
You don't own your home directory any more.
Log on as root.
ll -d < your home directory>
id
If the two do not match, use root to make them match.
There may be no sync between your windows user and Unix in which case you must use the correct user in winSCP. Don't assume just because you connected you own the homd directory.
Summary:
Don't look at the permission on the command, look at it on the folder you are in.

Re: simple problem...not able to use mkdir, touch..
When using winSCP are you specifying the destination directory as /home/
Can you log in, cd to your home directory (or wherever you're scp'ing the file to) and do an ls -ld to make sure you have read/write permissions there?

Alternatively, if you just want to get the file onto the system *somewhere*, /tmp usually has write permissions for everyone.

Yes, you need a root account to change that.
ask you admin to give you back your home directory.
