Change to root user using command sudo -s. Now SSH into linux machine through putty. You have two ways here to do so:ġ) Copy files to /home/ec2-user/ using filezilla. The ec2-user don't have permission to write files in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/. Tags : java,linux,tomcat,amazon-ec2,amazon-web-services I know there is no write permission, but how do i change it.

I tried to change permission use filezilla but not allowed to do so.

So when i try to transfer my application war to tomcat it says / var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/RealEstateERP.war: open for write: permission denied I am able to successfully connect to amazon ec2 instance using filezilla.
