title: ls: cannot open directory '.': Permission denied
body: <p>I have my application running on an <code>ec2</code> instance.</p>
  
  <p>I can successfully <code>ssh</code> into my application but when I <code>cd</code> in to the correct folder and run <code>ls</code> I get the following error:</p>
  
  <p><code>ls: cannot open directory '.': Permission denied</code></p>
  
  <p>It seems like it has something to do with my user permissions because running the application also throws a <code>403 Forbidden</code> error.</p>
  
  <p>The permissions for my application folder are as follows:</p>
  
  <p><code>d-wx-wx--x  17 ubuntu ubuntu    4096 Apr 20 10:53 application-name</code></p>
  
  <p>Do I need to change this to something else to make it work? And how?</p>
