Issue: Can’t transfer files via FileZilla I get an error in the console saying "Permission Denied". I know why I am getting that error. I can’t log in as a root user via SFTP because in the username field I have an ssh key that allows me to get into my Google Cloud Platform VM via FileZilla
Edit: What can I do to fix this issue or get around it?
>Solution :
You can refer to this documentation for "Permission denied" issues when uploading files to your vm thru SFTP.
-
Identify Error
Permission denied errors occur when you don’t have the required permissions to make changes to a file that you’re trying to edit over FTP. -
Connect to VM Instance
Connect to your VM instance using the SSH (Linux Shell) terminal. -
Check File Permissions
Execute the following command:
stat -c "%a %n" /path/to/file
- Edit File Permissions
Run the following command:
sudo chmod 777 /path/to/file
