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.

does 'put' require? Also, how can I use 'sudo' on the remote system in the fabric file? For example, what's the code for 'put' with a 'sudo'?
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.
