Changing permissions in a Unix directory
I am not able to change permission on a directory I created on the Unix server.
This is how the structure looks
$ ls
engany N832342 N854431 zabbix
$
Now I want to change the permission in N854431 folder so that I can read, write and execute files there.
Reason being currently when I am trying to scp some file from my local to that folder it gives an error "Permission Denied"
When I do this:
$ ls -l
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 3 engany engany 4096 Jan 16 08:46 engany
drwxr-xr-x 3 N832342 N832342 4096 Jan 15 05:30 N832342
drwxr-xr-x 5 N854431 N854431 4096 Jan 16 09:25 N854431
drwxr-xr-x 16 zabbix zabbix 4096 Jan 10 22:51 zabbix
$
I want rwx permission for any directory under N854431.
So I did this:
$ chmod -R ugo+rwx /home/N854431
And now I see rwx permission in N854431
$ ls -l
total 44
-rwxrwxrwx 1 N854431 N854431 8980 Apr 20 2016 examples.desktop
-rwxrwxrwx 1 N854431 N854431 24971 Jan 16 10:14 file.py
drwxrwxrwx 4 N854431 N854431 4096 Jan 16 10:08 web_path
$
However now when I try to send a file from my local to a directory under N854431
$ scp file.py N854431@10.6.121.124:/web_path
gives "Permission Denied" error.
When I do just the directory
$ scp file.py N854431@10.6.121.124:
It is able to send file.py under N854431. But it is not sending it to any other directory under N854431.
What is going wrong

When you start a path with/, that makes it absolute, not relative to your starting location.
