Amazon AWS Filezilla transfer permission denied

Question

I have my instance of the Amazon AWS running  test page is up    I am trying to SFTP the files to the server to display my website  I have Filezilla connected to the AWS server but when I try to move the files from my local machine to the  var www html directory  it says permission denied   I just figured out I CAN move the files to the  home ec2-user directory  So my files are on the server I guess  But when I try to move them from there to the  var www html directory  it still won t move them  permission denied    I ve been researching this for approximately 2 hours now but I haven t been able to locate the answer to this   Any help is greatly appreciated  i m so close  Haha  Thanks  UPDATE

In my case the  var www html in not a directory but a symbolic link to the  var app current  so you should change the real directoy ie  var app current    sudo chown -R ec2-user  var app current sudo chmod -R 755  var app current   I hope this save some of your times
