Re: [Fab-user] First Fabric connected but got 'Permission denied' error

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.

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.
