![]() Then I tried the Ubuntu correction (since it was an Ubuntu instance), and that did work. Since I was working with an Amazon instance I tried the third approach first, which didn’t work. Sudo chown -R ec2-user:ec2-user /var/www/html Sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /var/www/html Sudo chown -R centos:centos /var/www/html Here are the fixes from the Stack Overflow article: With Ubuntu you would want to access the Linode as root then run the following command: adduser exampleuser sudo. The Stack Overflow example was to a web folder for me, it was a video folder off the root. With each, you have to point to the folder you’re giving permissions to, which will also give permissions to subfolders within that folder. The article proposes the following three OS-specific fixes to run in Terminal.

Not to rant, but don’t you hate it when a machine you just securely signed up for (key pair and all!) and are renting by the hour uses a security-related concern to prevent you from actually using what you’re paying for?Īnyway, since this didn’t happen the first few hundred times I rented an AWS instance, I didn’t cover it in the Streaming Media article. Then I started trying to transfer files to an instance with FileZilla and got a “write:permission denied” error.

Always handy to have a step-by-step guide, so I printed the article draft and went through it point by point to get up and running. Error: File transfer failed I right click the target server directory to check read/write permissionbs. Good thing, too, because I had just started a consulting project that required setting up and encoding on multiple AWS instances. My article How to Launch a Cloud Encoding Computer just posted on the Streaming Media Global site. ![]()
