PhpStorm - Deployment - Cannot Upload New Files

When I try to create a new file/folder in PhpStorm I get a Permission denied error. However, when I create a new file in a folder that already exists in the root directory of my server I can without any errors.

When I try to create a new file:

[2016-03-07 11:29 AM] Failed to transfer file 'C:\Users\D\PhpstormProjects\example2\test.php': could not write to "sftp://www.example.com/test.php". (Permission denied)
[2016-03-07 11:29 AM] Automatic upload completed in less than a minute: 2 items failed

When I try to create a new folder:

[2016-03-07 11:27 AM] Failed to create folder '/var/www/html/test': could not create folder "sftp://www.example.com/test". (Permission denied)
[2016-03-07 11:27 AM] Automatic upload completed in less than a minute: 1 item failed

Checklist:

  • Make sure you own the files, so if you are in the sudo group then you can do sudo chown -R myusername:sudo /var/www/html/test/. This is to make sure that it will also work for other people in the group.
  • Make sure that you have write permissions, i.e. read and write access also for the group. You can do this with sudo chmod -R 755 /var/ww/html/test/ (Unfortunately I have found that in practice you sometimes need 777 permissions, but this is not desirable.)
  • Make sure your deployment path mappings are correct, by going to Settings | Deployment | Mappings, and check that the Deployment path is indeed relative to the root path (under Connection)

Prior to deleting, modifying and transferring files, you need to give them the permissions to the data group for the user who will perform the operations.

$ sudo usermod -a -G www-data your_username
$ sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/html 
$ sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html

After fixing permissions on server you need restart phpstorm. Worked for me on Ubuntu 17.10

The issue solved itself after restart.

PhpStorm support gave this answer: Please try to run File > Invalidate Caches/Restart > Invalidate and Restart.

If it still fails please send me idea.lof file as described here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085-Locating-IDE-log-files

You can try this :

chmod -R 777 /var/www
chgrp www-data /var/www
chown -R www-data /var/www

useradd -G {www-data} your_username
