What OS is the remote server running? What kind of filesystem is the remote
file on? sftp sets all the attributes of a file at once and if one type of
attribute fails to be set, then it could return such an error. For example,
changing the mode or UID of a file on a DOS filesystem wouldn't work,
and could conceivably cause this kind of problem. Can you verify through
the remote server logs whether it is in fact sending a Permission denied
error code?
