Notebook: Permission denied to save notebook

[Ethkoh]

I wanted to save my notebook in User/username/Python script but will show permission denied. I can only save them in User/username. I also can't save for editing existing notebooks that are in any other folders other than User/username.

I tried many many solutions to change the directory/to allow permission to save but fail. First day using python. I used to use R where changing directories just requires some clicking/code.

I am on localhost:8888. so not on server.

That means it doesn't have permission from the operating system to write in that directory. What operating system do you have, and how are you running Jupyter?

windows10. Own pc. click through anaconda on localhost.

If you start an Anaconda command prompt and run jupyter notebook from there, does it work? The click-to-launch thing in Anaconda is outside our control.

I am having quite similar issue. I am running jupyter notebook on Ubuntu and I can't save anything

at least for me, it is permissions. I could open but couldn't save a notebook. The solution wasn't obvious. The permissions were ok on my note.ipynb, but were bad for my .~note.ipynb (must be a temporary file. On linux, changing both to permissions 755 worked.

This worked for me for .ipynb_checkpoints file. I typed 'chown username .ipynb_checkpoints' where username is my linux user name. Had to discuss it with the original owner of .ipynb_checkpoints
