s3fs ERROR: unable to open for writing: [Errno 13] Permission denied

As the title says, when I tried to download a youtube video like:
youtube-dl www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcUsR9DSSOk,
the result showed:
s3fs ERROR: unable to open for writing: [Errno 13] Permission denied
What's the problem then? Thanks.

Most likely, you're trying to write to a directory you don't have write access to. cd to another directory or use the -o option. Can you post the entire output (with -v) if this doesn't fix your problem, like this:

phihag@l:~$ youtube-dl -v ZcUsR9DSSOk

This was the case for me, it would be nice if it gave the absolute path it is trying to write to, I spent a bit of time checking folder permissions elsewhere

I'm getting the same issue even when I launch with admin privs. This is on Windows.

@Orbixx Can you post the entire output of youtube-dl when called with the -v flag in a new issue? Additionally, the output of icacls . and type nul >>tmpf would allow us to diagnose your problem.

cd into the directory where the youtube-dl.exe is located.then call the update.Works fine for me Win 7 32-bit
