Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve my problem?

When I try to transfer a file I get the following error:

Permission denied
Error Code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
Request Code: 3

I have the same problem as what you are facing and i don’t know what to do.

I found the post below and it seemed to have worked for the guy asking the question, it may work for you? I’ve not had any luck with it, please let me know if you crack it.

Just follow the each step and you will get it fixed:

1) Open WinSCP
2) Bottom-left --> put a check on Advanced options
3) Bottom of white window (Just above Advanced options) --> Left click on Preferences
4) Now move to your right in line 2/3 of the way --> Left click on the Preferences "Radio-type" Button
5) Now in the "Confirmations" box, 4th item from the top, Transfer resuming remove the 'check-mark'
6) Left-click on the OK Button -----> You're done ! Enjoy it

DLAWS:

Please forget about the previous reply (Posted: 28 Sep 2007 05:46).

The problem is with permission security of your server. (My server ---> FreeBSD 6.2)

The only way I could sign-in and transfer/delete/etc.. files from/to my PC was to give "root" permission to login through SSH login. (Have to set PermitRootLogin yes) in "sshd_config" file.

No more "Permission denied - error code 3".

Please post a main error message too.
