gsutil "Permission denied"

[Anjanesh]

I don't know why all of a sudden I get Permission denied when accessing gsutil.

~$ gsutil ls

bash: ~/gsutil/gsutil: Permission denied

I even chmod'ed ~/gsutil/gsutil to 777

Any reason why I can possibly get "Permission denied" ?

Thanks

Hi Anjanesh,

Are you by any chance running gsutil from an alias? If so, what is the alias definition?

What happens if you specify the fully qualified path to gsutil, e.g.,

/home/anjanesh/gsutil/gsutil ls

(I'm just using the above path guess as an example; please use the real path instead).

If that doesn't work, can you please send us the output from running these commands:

ls -lg ~/gsutil/gsutil

whomai

If you'd prefer not to post those things on the public list you can send to gs-...@google.com.

Thanks,

Sorry about this. This was clearly a permission issue, not a gsutil one.

On doing ls -lg ~/gsutil/gsutil it showed -rw-rw-rw- 1 anjanesh

It was not marked executable for some odd reason.

I was working around it by doing python /home/anjanesh/gsutil/gsutil <cmd>

Thanks. Resolved.
