I have renamed a shell script on my linux server and uploaded a new file through FTP tool like WinScp.



Now, I am trying to execute this file through Terminal but I am getting Permission Denied Error.



To fix this issue, I executed touch command but still have the same issue.
I am using the same user account to login into Terminal as well as upload the file.



Is this the permission issue like my user account hasn't access to upload the file?

          You need to make the file excutable. The touch command doesn't do that, the chmod command does:



          chmod a+x some_new_file.sh


          Or use your GUI to set the excutable permissions on the file.



          Don't forget, if you're uploading a script, that you must transfer the file in TEXT mode and not in BINARY mode. Otherwise it'll fail at the next step (when you run it).

          To see the permissions on your file run:



          ls -l yourfile


          You should see output like:



          $ ls -l newfile
          -rw-rw-r--. 1 ira ira 0 Dec 11 09:41 newfile


          Where the "-rw-rw-r--." part is read/write/execute permissions for the user, group and everybody else. The 'ira ira' part is the user and then the group that the user belongs to.
