Help- As a relatively new user to Freesurfer, I have encountered some problems none that more experienced users have been able to solve until now. Every time I try to add a control point, the message "MRIwriteColtrolPoints( <file location>): could not write file Permission denied" This may have to do with our server however even removing the read/write protections via super user didn't work. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how is it solved?
Thanks
Kellen, I think you could send us the system you use (Linux/Mac) and the FreeSurfer version.

Hello Kellen
Can you create a directory named tmp/ inside your subjects directory. Suppose you had a subject named 'kellen'
cd $SUBJECTS_DIR cd kellen/ mkdir tmp
and try again ?
If 'tmp/' already exists, make sure it's write-able.

the control points are stored in $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subject/tmp/control.dat
does this file exist? If not can you create it (e.g. with touch)?
cheers, Bruce
