Thank you very much for all your feedback. >Is it a specific area that a specific user cannot write to, or a specific user >that cannot write anywhere or.... Any user other than root cannot write to that directory, but they can write to the /tmp directory. The /tmp directory has drwxrwxrwt permission and the directory that I'm trying to write to which doesn't work has drwxrwxrwx permission. So permissions are wide open. I don't know how it could be a permissions problem. Also when there is a permissions problem, SSH usually reports "Access Denied". In this case it says it's an undefined error. >How are you authenticating, via password or key? I'm authenticating with a password. >Any chance you employ quotas ? The user could be over their >quota. It doesn't seem like there are user quotas on the server either. I ran the quota command with the user that I'm trying to write files and this was the output: Disk quotas for user johnp (uid 510): none >There are a number of other possible causes too. What other causes could be involved?
