What to do when Puppy says "Permission Denied"

#1 Post by kethd »

You may get a message from the bash (ash) shell: Permission denied.

This could mean that the file/program named could not be executed, because the permissions have not been properly set.

Use the console command # id
to find out who you are.

Use the console command # ls -la
to list all the files and permissions.

Use the console command # chmod a+x filename
to change the permissions so that all can execute the file.
