                Remote server am running on linux platform. Both gfs and
local file system gives me the same error. And regarding the Error logs
I am not able to find any in the remote server in /var/log/secure or
/var/log/messages it has
Only connection and disconenction realted errors.

For now I have a hack:like would first change the file to 777
permission (ignore the error)

And then change the file to required permisison (what ever mentioned )
.I know it sounds weired :)))

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?
