What user are you connecting as and what directory are you trying to write to?
Thanks for your help Kamal, im using a user that i created since i disabled root access via ssh, the folder is the default web root /var/www/.
You need to make sure that your user has write access to whatever folder you want that user to be able to modify files. Check out <a href=“https://digitalocean.com/community/articles/linux-permissions-basics-and-how-to-use-umask-on-a-vps”>Linux Permissions Basics and How to Use Umask on a VPS</a>.
