to put code int the code tags. Do this
1. Push the (CODE) tags sign right on the border infront of you.
2. Put your code inside the tags.
3. Then Click on post

return

IOError:Error[13] permission denied :"D:\Python\test"

You get permission denied because the machine you want to login does not have the user as root. I guess you are trying to login into linux box right?

Use the user name and password you use to login to the box. root will not give you the permission.

You must work on your indentation first. All of them are off.
Check out he try's and except. Else's and if's.
They are al not properly indented. Fix that first ok?

[richieking]

Post your new indented cde please
