Hi Jeff, I only see the IP address of the remote system with 'env.host_string' print. I need to seek Linux admin help, but can you elaborate more on the issue? I am not a Linux person, so the more details the better. I think I need to know what permissions my current account has and what permissions I need in order to executte Fabric. Thanks, Peter

Try printing out env.host_string immediately before your put() call, and see what its value is. If your env.user isn't the same as your local account name, then you should see "<the value you put in env.user>@<the IP address in your hosts list>". If you only see the IP address, then it may be that it's connecting with your local user's username, which (if it exists on the remote end as a legit user) might not have the right permissions. This is a long shot but something to check anyways. > What special rights does 'put' require? Also, how can I use 'sudo' on the > remote system in the fabric file? For example, what's the code for 'put' with > a 'sudo'? Right now put() can't do sudo things, but there's a contrib method that can be used as a workaround until we upgrade put(): fabric.contrib.files.upload_template(). It has a "use_sudo" Boolean kwarg. Check the API docs for details. -Jeff > > --- On Sat, 8/14/10, Jeff Forcier <j...@bitprophet.org> wrote: > > From: Jeff Forcier <j...@bitprophet.org> > Subject: Re: [Fab-user] First Fabric connected but got 'Permission denied' > error > To: "Peter Bee" <yb...@yahoo.com> > Cc: fab-user@nongnu.org > Date: Saturday, August 14, 2010, 5:44 AM > > Hi Peter, > > On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 4:04 AM, Peter Bee <yb...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > Underlying exception message: > > Permission denied > > This usually means exactly what it says: the user you're connecting as > does not have permission to write files to the destination directory > you specified.
