--------------------------------------

Hi Karthik,

I think the message which means "Permission Denied" should not be displayed on the client side from the view point of the security.
Instead, that should be logged on the server side as audit log.

How do you think?

> fs -put/copyFromLocal shows a "No such file or directory" error when the user doesn't have permissions to read the source file/directory. Saying "Permission Denied" is more useful to the user.
