I run Visual Studio on Mac for developing .NET Core. I have problems with file permissions.

When I for example use FluentFTP to download a file:

client.DownloadFile("/Users/max/temp/download_folder", "remote/path");

I get the following error:

Access to the path '/Users/max/temp/download_folder' is denied.

Note that I've also got this error using Path and Directory.

I've confirmed that the paths are OK. I've tested to set chmod 777 /Users/max/temp/. I've also tried to place the file at /var/tmp/, where full file access is default.

I get the feeling that Visual Studio is not run with sufficient permissions. In this thread a similar problem for Visual Studio Code is solved by setting sudo chown -R $(whoami) /Users/$(whoami)/.vscode, but I can't find any dotfiles for Visual Studio.

The problem was that I passed a directory path, while the method wanted a file name path. The exception message could've been more informative. Hope that this answer can help someone in the future.
