Mysqldump can't create/write to file

[dylanelliott27]

I am on MacOS using Mamp as my local environment.

When trying to push my database to staging, I get the error: mysqldump: Can't create/write to file 'path-here' (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)

I assume this might be because I am using the MySQL from within Mamp, and it doesn't have permission to write to a file outside of Mamp?

Has anyone came across this before or know how to give it permission to write the dump file?

Thank you.

Seems like your user is not able to write into the path-here directory. The output of ls -la path-here (I mean: the folder containing the file if path-here is the path of a file as I think) wuold be useful both for your and our check.

Keep in mind when you invoke a command, the command itself hasn't permissions: invoking user's permissions apply instead (probably 99% truth).
