I only have permission to add files to download and document folder

Question

All folders I add files to except for download and documents gives me a message saying I don't have permission.

I tried manually changing the permissions chmod and it still gives me trouble.

Can anybody tell my why my computer won't let me add files to most of my folders? I use Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Is the machine yours? What does ls -l show the permissions to be? — soandos, Jul 15, 2012 at 16:27
my home folder permission is drwxr-xr-x and my desktop permission is drwxr-xr-x+ — DrinkJavaCodeJava, Jul 15, 2012 at 16:33
It would be appreciated if you posted the problem as an answer — soandos, Jul 15, 2012 at 16:36

Instead of chmoding each individual folder I instead changed the permission for the entire Home folder and this fixed the problem.
