[Frank Elsner]

Hi,

I need help as I don't understand my problem.

I've a local directory

[root@siffux misc]# ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root    0 Nov  2 09:54 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 Jul  7 13:28 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    0 Nov  2 09:54 Media

I don't understand 

[root@siffux misc]# mkdir Backups
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘Backups’: Permission denied
[root@siffux misc]#
