Trying to UPX a file but im getting permission denied
 

Why?

:helpme

YARGH! Maybe yer boat can't enter port because of some permission problems. Check yer CHMOD?
AHOY!

use ups or fedex..they are more friendly ;)

Its not on my server...just on my laptop.

And im logged in as admin.

:disgust

YARGH! Port blocked by firewall, router, etc.?

Uhm, im not making a connection to another computer so what would that have to do with a router for instance?

YARGH! Didn't you say you were trying to upload a file? If you're just copyin' then it may be that the file is set to read only, or something. Is this *nix. or Win?

Hmm how odd...i tried to open the file im trying to upx and it also gives me a permission denied..its an exe. I also cannot open it because if have no permission to open the file.

YARGH! That be strange. Try refreshing the folder (f5) and see if the file is really there. if not right click, and hit properties to check if it's read only.

I did :/

YARGH! Not sure then sorry. AHOY me file swabbers!

Thanks though, appreciate it.

I cant believe im talking to a pirate without thinking anything strange about it.

thats whay i thought my comment on ups fit right in

Maybe someone else has an idea?

cacls your.exe if it's not a permissions issue then check that the file isn't in use. Or use the output switch -o to leave the original intacted and create a new compressed copy.
