Update problem

[agungsantoso]

When i try to update using youtube-dl -U, it's give me an error like this:

ERROR: no write permissions on youtube-dl

I try change security to allow everyone write, but that problem still appear.

I'm using win7 ultimate SP1 32bit

Generally, this is the problem of writing into holding directory. You
should run your console (command line input) with privileges of system
administrator, not «fixing» write permissions.

For instance, when I in GNU run youtube-dl -U as a regular user, it will fail. Instead, one should run it like sudo youtube-dl -U to obtain super-user privileges to write not only into the file supposed to be overwritten, but also into the directory containing it. Changing permissions is the way to break proper security settings.
