I have a weird problem.
I am attempting to edit some files on my Linux 11.04 server remotely through the SSH port 22. I am using Putty to access the command line and I am using WinSCP to copy files from my windows desktop to the linux directory.
When I attempt to create a file using putty I do the following:
log in as the root.
go to director /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d
pico uploadprogress.ini ( this is suppose to create a new file uploadprogress... and it does)
I then create my file inside the pico program.
when I save the file I get a error
permission denied.
I even attempted to create the file on my windows machine and transfer the file using WINSCP. Again i get an error Permission denied.
What is going on? I am using the SUDO command and something without the SUDO command. Nothing seams to work.
Is it possible that somehow I lost SUDO privileges?
Why can't I transfer a file to the system folders as ROOT?
