As for the permission level, “-rw-rw-r-” the “user” and “group” can both read and write, while all others can only read. So, what we can get from the output is that the file (-) “test.txt” belongs to the user/group (ubuntu/ubuntu). (4) – Name of the file, directory, or symbolic link.(2, 3)-User and group The next column (2 and 3) represents the file or directory owner and the group.

The next set of three characters (rwx, where: r=read, w=write, x=execute, and – = no permission) represent user permissions, the next three represent group permissions, and the last three characters are “others” permissions.

(1)-Permission level The first character, (l or d), represents a symbolic link or directory, while (-) represents a regular file.

The below screenshot shows the output of this command. This command will help you see whether your user (within a group) has the correct permissions to a file.

Use “$ls -l” to get a long detailed list of files, directories, and permissions.

This is simply because both users belong to different groups with different permissions. In this case, my “ubuntu” user does not have access to the root user’s folder. In that case, you’ll get a message like: “ls: cannot open directory ‘/root': Permission denied”.įor security reasons, some cloud providers like AWS separate root access from other users.

Suppose the user logged in to the SFTP server does not have the necessary permissions (such as read command, “ls”) to a specific directory or file.

Since this error is most likely related to incorrect permissions, you’ll have to figure out why you don’t have the authorization to edit, change, or upload a file or directory.

For example, you might have read, write, execute permissions on your local file (or folder), but the remote folder (or file) might not be accepting your actions (read, write, or execute). The reason for these error messages is generally due to incorrect or lack of permissions. But if you cannot even connect via SFTP or SSH, you might be getting a similar error message that reads “SFTP permission denied (public key)”. Generally, you are successfully connecting via SFTP or SSH with the same user, but you can’t modify, change, or overwrite the file via SFTP. In Windows, while using an SFTP client, like WinSCP or FileZilla, the message looks like this: Regardless of which SFTP client you use, when you SFTP into a server and try to replace, edit, delete, or overwrite a file or directory, you get “an SFTP permission denied” error message.Īn example: Cannot create remote file 'ver'.Įrror message from server: Permission denied By default, AWS doesn’t grant “root” SSH access to the EC2 instances due to security’s best practices. We will use the default user “ubuntu” and add a new sftp01 user. To illustrate a clearer picture of the “sftp permission denied” error scenario, we’ll use an AWS EC2, Ubuntu (Focal-20.04-amd64-server).

First, we’ll learn to check and update the user/group file/folder permissions, and second, we’ll figure out why we are getting authentication/access permission denied due to the public key. In this post, we’ll go through the two cases. Another similar error message is the “SFTP permission denied (public key),” where you won’t even be able to access the server via SFTP or SSH. Generally, you would still have access to the SFTP server via SSH, but you won't be able to change a specific file or directory. Although SFTP is an easy-to-use and secure file transfer protocol, many people frequently face one of the most infamous SFTP errors, the “SFTP permission denied.”Īs the error output reads, this issue is due to the lack of permissions to access a file or directory.
