Permission Denied on file transfer

I am trying to transfer a small (14kb)file and I keep getting a message saying permission denied. the log is below.
This has never happened before. And earlier tonight I was able to transfer a similar file after repeated attempts. I was also able to transfer 2 large files (7-12 MB) without any problem.
