I have connected to the two computers. One system is windows, another is ubuntu. And I want to send a lab.rar file to the ubuntu from windows by using the software pscp(putty) .

Here is my command to send the file (windows system):

D:\>pscp C:\Users\Tyler.Tuo\Desktop\lab1.rar ubuntu@192.168.0.109:/home/cse316

However, it reports error like this:

pscp: unable to open /home/cse316/lab1.rar: permission denied

It seems I have no permission to visit the location in ubuntu system. How to solve the problem?

A quick solution , open your Ubuntu system and type this: sudo chmod 777 -R /home/cse316

Another thing to keep in mind is that all directories before the targeted one MUST HAVE the execution right (chmod +x ...)

For example, if the target folder is /apps/ubuntu/data, the following must have the execution right :

  • /apps
  • /apps/ubuntu

In addition, giving 777 right is a VERY BAD PRACTISE

Only wx are necessary to give access a user to create files, and rx to read them

Then, please, set your rights correctly in order to avoid security issues
