Checking for Write Permission

1. Check for write permission by typing:

   touch /net/remote-system/opt/testfile

   If you receive an error message, then you do not have write permission. For example:

   touch /net/harker/opt/testfile touch: /net/harker/opt/testfile cannot create

2. Choose another installation directory on which you have write permission, or contact your system administrator to change the filesystem permissions.
