'Why am i getting permission denied in SCP for a local file as root?
I am trying to copy a file f I created on my local machine to a remote one (to the home directory of my user there) by SCP. I have root privileges on my machine, but after executing:
scp f [email protected]:/
I get:
scp: /f: Permission denied
Also
ls -l f
returns:
-rw-rw-r--
I'm confused, shouldn't i be able to copy it as root? Or even without it given the permissions?

to resolve this error, assign Read-write-execute (rwx) permission to everyone.
$ sudo chmod 777 "path-to-your-remote-directory"
