Login .netrc not found

[ccdanieldb]

I think I have it all installed correctly but when I try to upload a file I get the below error. As you can see I am using the .netrc. I created the file with nano and have it in the proper format as per the intro start page.

machine jottacloud.com
login yourusername
password yourpassword

I am sure I am doing something wrong but I do not know what it is.

daniel@debian:~$ sudo jotta-scanner /home/daniel/Test /Jotta/Archive/Test

You should be able to run jotta-scanner as a normal user (without sudo). Currently it's looking for the .netrc file from /root/ instead of /home/daniel/ .

sudo might actually look in user *daniel's home folder, but as far as I can see, netrc (and not .netrc - notice the dot) is actually located in /home/, not in /home/daniel/ as it should be.

@rhoeden is absolutely correct that the user daniel should be able to run the commands, but as said, /home/netrc should be /home/daniel/.netrc
