Yes. What directory are you trying to put the data in? Paste the output of:
Also what user are you logged in as? You can find out by typing
You can grant everyone read/write access to the directory but that is usually a bad idea.
ls -ald /path/to/dir ls -ald /path/to ls -ald /path ls -ald /
Also what user are you logged in as? You can find out by typing
id . You can grant everyone read/write access to the directory but that is usually a bad idea.

sudo chmod 777 FILENAME
NOTE: This is really NOT recommended for all the files. Be extremely careful while using this.
alternatively you can do chmod 644 which will only give write permission to the root user and everyone else gest only read permission.
