Hi,

I am not able to transfer file to my linode using SFTP. filezila is able to connect to the server. I am also able to delete or rename the file on the server. But when I try to transfer the file from my local machine, it shows following error message

Error: error while writing: failure
Error: File transfer failed

Can some one please help.

Thanks

Perhaps your user account does not have permission to write to the directory you're trying to copy to? Or maybe the disk on your Linode is full?

You may want to try a different client besides Filezilla to see if you can get a more informative error message.

I am a new to linux. Can you please tell me how can I check disk quota.

Run

df -h 

It'll spit out something like this

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        79G   15G   61G  20% /
udev            494M  4.0K  494M   1% /dev
tmpfs           201M  284K  200M   1% /run
none            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none            501M     0  501M   0% /run/shm

The one that has / under Mounted on is your root drive.

How to ask for help
1. Give details of your problem
2. Post any errors
3. Post relevant logs.
4. Don't hide details i.e. your domain, it just makes things harder
5. Be polite or you'll be eaten by a grue

It's probably a permission issue.
