[Savannah-hackers] RE: Inability to upload files: permission denied

[Page, Bill]

Hello David and Mathieu;

I have just tried to add a file to a sub-directory
created by David and I get the same message as before
when I tried to upload. It says

  Warning: Remote denied X11 forwarding.
  building file list ... done.
  axiom_run.pkg/cvs_2003-10-27/README.txt
  axiom_run.pkg/cvs_2003-10-27/axiom-static-linux-i386-cvs-2003-10-27.tar.gz
  mkstemp axiom_run.pkg/cvs_2003-10-27/.README.txt.1ppcKp failed: Permission
denied
  mkstemp
axiom_run.pkg/cvs_2003-10-27/.axiom-static-linux=i386-cvs-2003-10-27.tar.gz.
aRTcv0 failed: Permission denied
  ...

I am sure that David said that when he created this
directory that he set

  chmod ug+w 

and that is the same privileges that I have assigned
to the stuff I am trying to add to that directory, but
still does not like me...

What else can we do to straighten this out?

Regards,
Bill Page.
