fixing a “sftpexception permission denied” error
December 12th, 2005 by Lawrence David
when first trying to publish this blog to my sftp server (via blogger), i kept receiving a “sftpexception permission denied” error. the solution to this was to simply:
sudo chmod a+w -R [my blog directory]
i then was able to upload/publish this blog. afterwards, i restored things:
sudo chmod a-w -R [my blog directory]
sudo chmod u+w -R [my blog directory]
(i know, i know, there is some more efficient way to do this in chmod – i’ve always just been too lazy to learn all the shortcuts/number codes.)
