How to upload a lib for Tomcat in Amazon EC2
amazon-ec2, amazon-web-services, tomcat, tomcat7
Solution
You need to set the proper privileges so the ec2-user can write to the target directory. If you post the output of these two commands, I will try to help you:
id
sudo ls -al /opt/tomcat7
Edit: Based on your output, I think the proper thing to do would be to add the ec2-user to the "tomcat7" group, then grant that group write access to the directory:
sudo usermod -a -G tomcat7 ec2-user
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/tomcat7
Problem
I need to upload a lib to my Tomcat folder (in an EC2 instance). What I've always done is: ``` scp -r -i /home/path_to_key/key.pem /home/path_to_file/file.jar ec2-user@my_address.compute.amazonaws.com:/home/ec2-user ``` This works if I upload files in the "user" folder (or its subfolders). What if i want to upload a file in /opt/tomcat7/lib/ ? I receive this error: ``` scp: /opt/tomcat7/lib/file.jar: Permission denied ``` Anyone can help me?
