Nope, you are not. What you are doing is confusing how things work, so there’s that.
Which makes you root, and not your user. Please understand that. YOUR USER DOES NOT HAVE PERMISSIONS TO THE FOLDER. PERIOD. END OF STORY.
I FULLY understand what it does, and I have to use WinSCP at work on occasion. What YOU need to understand is that I DO know what I am talking about.
No shit, because again, YOUR USER DOESN’T HAVE PERMISSIONS THERE, which is what I have been saying.
Yep.
I was not disagreeing with this, but for some reason you felt the need to disagree with the facts as I have stated. He was having issues with sudo su and as such the other fix was to fix permissions on the directory.
But, since you are the expert I will let you help out, and I will just sit back and enjoy my breakfast.
