I use ubuntu server on my server

CodePudding user response：

I think it is easy to fix

you just don't have permission to modify the file on your server with your current user.

add the user as the directory owner:

sudo chown -R yourUsername:root yourPathDirectory

-R means recursively

after that yourUser can modify files in that directory and you won't get permission denied.
