Zend Framework Image upload Error : The given destination is not writeable

//Default Image with article
    $imgElement = new Zend_Form_Element_File('imgElement');
    $imgElement->setLabel("Upload an Image:");
    $imgElement->setDestination(APPLICATION_PATH."/../upload/articleImg/");      
    $imgElement->addValidator('Count',false,1); //ensure only 1 file
    $imgElement->addValidator('Size',false,102400); //limit to 100K
    $imgElement->addValidator('Extension',false,'jpg,png,gif');
    $this->addElement($imgElement);

Above is my code to upload a file along with the article. The error I get is 

An error occurred
Application error
Exception information:
Message: The given destination is not writeable

If I do an ls -l , I get drwxrwxr-x 3 aman aman 4096 Jul 31 20:03 upload I have permission to write to that dir. If I use terminal and mv some file to that location it goes through. I think my application might not have the access to write to that dir maybe ?

Is this a bug or something ? I tried this too. But didn't work

//Default Image with article
    $destination = APPLICATION_PATH."/../upload/articleImg";
    chmod($destination ,0777);

    $imgElement = new Zend_Form_Element_File('imgElement');
    $imgElement->setLabel("Upload an Image:");
    $imgElement->setDestination($destination);      
    $imgElement->addValidator('Count',false,1); //ensure only 1 file
    $imgElement->addValidator('Size',false,102400); //limit to 100K
    $imgElement->addValidator('Extension',false,'jpg,png,gif');
    $this->addElement($imgElement);

Solved using this link : https://serversforhackers.com/permissions-users/

Apparently I had to grant the access to the web user i.e. www-data. Followed the steps below.

sudo usermod -a -G www-data aman
sudo chgrp www-data /home/aman/Work/aman_proj
chmod g+rwxs /home/aman/Work/aman_proj

Thanks for help guys :)

Your webserver is probably not running under the user or group aman for which the write permissions are set on the upload folder. Either change the owner (www-data is default on ubuntu) of the folder 

chown -R www-data ./upload

or give it global write permissions

chmod -R 777 ./upload

I would recommend the first solution. The -R is optional and changes also permissions on subfolders of your upload folder, if required.

in your hosting control panel, you need to set the file permissions for that folder so it is writable.

Go to the control panel's file explorer and change it in there.

-OR-

If it is your local copy, you need to set the permissions through your OS.

in unix, linux, mac, this is:

chmod 777 ./upload

(from within the public/images/ folder)

In windows I think you either just right click the upload folder -> properties and un-tick read only. Either that or set the permissions in sharing and security options.
