"multer-sftp": Permission denied when writting on remote sftp server

Question

I am using multer-sftp to make a safe file upload. But when I try to write (upload) file to the server, I get weird error. Can someone help me to solve the issue ? I use "multer-sftp": "^1.1.1", "ssh2-sftp-client": "^7.1.0" and "express": "^4.17.1".

you have to configure user and group https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/03/chroot-sftp-setup/

which you are using here in config of ssh2-sftp-client

let commonOpts {
  host: 'localhost', // string Hostname or IP of server.
  port: 22, // Port number of the server.
  forceIPv4: false, // boolean (optional) Only connect via IPv4 address
  forceIPv6: false, // boolean (optional) Only connect via IPv6 address
  username: 'donald', // string Username for authentication.
  password: 'borsch', // string Password for password-based user authentication
  agent: process.env.SSH_AGENT, // string - Path to ssh-agent's UNIX socket
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/key'), // Buffer or string that contains
  passphrase: 'a pass phrase', // string - For an encrypted private key
  readyTimeout: 20000, // integer How long (in ms) to wait for the SSH handshake
  strictVendor: true // boolean - Performs a strict server vendor check
  debug: myDebug // function - Set this to a function that receives a single
                // string argument to get detailed (local) debug information.
  retries: 2 // integer. Number of times to retry connecting
  retry_factor: 2 // integer. Time factor used to calculate time between retries
  retry_minTimeout: 2000 // integer. Minimum timeout between attempts
};
