#26989 permission denied to project-web/PROJ/htdocs

[decuser]

Hi, I'm migrating my projects over from github and having some challenges figuring out how to do the website for the project. Your documentation says I ought to be able to just upload the html into the project web area and magically, it'll work - I get permission denied (I've added my public ssh key and am able to login via sftp):

sftp decuser@web.sourceforge.net
Connected to web.sourceforge.net.
sftp> cd /home/project-web/dircmp/htdocs
sftp> put index.html 
Uploading index.html to /home/project-web/dircmp/htdocs/index.html
dest open "/home/project-web/dircmp/htdocs/index.html": Permission denied
sftp> 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
