I made an extra volume and then attached it like this...

sudo mkfs -t ext4 device_name
sudo mkdir mount_point
sudo mount device_name mount_point

The mount point was in my home directory as well. when I try to run

put -r ./directory

It doesn't give any errors but the also doesn't transfer any of the files that are in the directory.

If I use filezilla I get some errors like this...

/home/ubuntu/xvdb/file.txt: open for write: permission denied 

but when I look at the permissions of the mounted folder/drive it is owned by the user I am logged in as (stock ubuntu on EC2 ubuntu instance)

Why would it be giving me permissions errors?

  • what permissions do you have on the mountpoin/folders. Not owner

  • it was 755, but even tried making it 777 and it still wouldn't work
