Unable to write in directory Laravel

In my server, I get this error message

Unable to write in the "/home/company/blog/public/img" directory

When I try to upload an image like this in my controller

$file = $request->file('img');
        $name = time() . '-' . $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->move(public_path() .'/img/', $name);
        $company = company::where('username', $username)->first();
        $company->images()->create(['path' => "/{$name}"]);

I know it's about granting permissions I tried

chmod 755 /home/company/blog/public/img

But it still doesn't work.

How can I resolve this?

This is a common case when your server uses different user than you use in console. You can have www-data for web server and user for console.

755 means full rights for owner and read+execute for the user's group and others (read this). So, when you chmod 755 as user, you grant full access for user and no write permission to www-data.

You have to change owner of the directory to your server's user. If your server's user is www-data, use

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/company/blog/public/img
