What OS? Offhand it sounds like you are trying to write to a folder 
where you don't have write permissions.  On Linux you sign  on as 
"root"  and cd to the directory just above the one you are writing 
to. To free up directory "foo" the statement is
chmod 777 foo
If you have windows I don't know how you fix it.
