I am working with two different servers, and uploading files between them. From one to another. But that is not working. It worked when both are on my localhost, but when I want to upload file from my localhost onto another server that is a cloud server. It is giving me this error:

Warning:  move_uploaded_file(/var/www/data/user-blue.png): failed to open stream: 

Permission denied in /var/www/upload.php on line 67



Warning:  move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpVBiLvB' to '/var/www/data/user-blue.png' in /var/www/upload.php on line 67

How do I fix permissions on the cloud server? I have full root access if it is needed.

chmod on your directory to read write execute. Or give user permissions to te directory.

If you are using Mac OS, here are the simple steps you need to take to solve this problem of permission:

  1. Double click on your upload folder to get options
  2. Click on "Get info"
  3. Scroll down, in the left bottom corner, you will see a padlock, unlock it with your pc password
  4. Then you will see permissions in bottom, change the permissions to read and write
  5. Problem solved. unless your script has a problem
