You can put a file in a directory only if you have been granted permission to do so.

Using ls -ld you can examine permissions on a directory.

ls -ld ~vaweb/Training
drwxrwsr-x 17 root trainwww 3072 Apr 7 13:28 /home/vaweb/Training


The directory is owned by root (superuser), who has permission to read, write, and execute files in that directory, as is indiated by the left-most

The directory belongs to the group

Using the command groups you can check what groups you are a member of.

groups nblachman
blachman : nblachman saleswww trainwww linux3

Since I am a member of the groups nblachaman
trainwww group, I have permission to put files in the directory

If you are not in the group to which your departments VAweb directory is assigned, submit an IS request asking to be added to the group.
