Renci.SshNet.Common.SftpPermissionDeniedException: 'Permission denied'

Question

I am new to SFTP.

I am getting Renci.SshNet.Common.SftpPermissionDeniedException: 'Permission denied' error while uploading an image to the SFTP location from asp.net core.

I have installed the WinSCP tool, and there I can see that particular SFTP folder doesn't have "write" permission. and I don't have the right to change the permission.

below is my code

public void UploadFileToSFTP(IFormFile requestFile)
{
    using (var sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
    {
       sftp.Connect();
                
        if (sftp.IsConnected)
        {                  
           using (var uplfileStream = requestFile.OpenReadStream()) 
           {
              sftp.UploadFile(uplfileStream, "/folderpath/" + requestFile.fileName, null);
           }
        }
        sftp.Disconnect();
   }        
}

am I doing anything wrong in the code?

or just adding write permission to the folder will work here.

Thanks in advance!

I am able to upload images to the SFTP server after getting "write" permission for the SFTP folder.
