Hi All,
I am the owner of a directory in Unix (really Mac OS X, but should be the same thing). And I get a "Permission Denied" error when I try to write to that directory.
I believe I am the owner of the directory because it gives me the following output when i do ls -l
dr-xr-xr-x 158 jusTellme staff 16384 Apr 29 21:38 Videos
And when I do whoami, I get:
jusTellme
So, when I try to write a file to that directory, it gives me a an access denied error.
But when I do chmod 777 Videos, so that I can write to that directory, I get:
chmod: Movies - Unwatched/: Permission denied
So, I believe I am the owner of the directory, but I cannot write to the directory. I am trying to change the permissions but no luck. Is there another way to change the permissions or a tool/script that I can use to change them so that I can write to this directory again?
Please help...
please check ownership/permissions of the directory above 'Videos'. You need write permission there. Use chown or chmod, use sudo ... if needed.
