Pgadmin 错误：无法打开文件读取：权限被拒绝

Question

I am a newbie for Psql, just wanted to copy the data into psql with codes:

COPY consumer_complaints
FROM '/users/xxxx/Desktop/ConsumerComplaints.csv';

But, it wouldn't allow me to, as it showed following:

ERROR:  could not open file "/users/xxxx/Desktop/ConsumerComplaints.csv" for reading: Permission denied HINT:  COPY FROM instructs the PostgreSQL server process to read a file. You may want a client-side facility such as psql's \copy. SQL state: 42501

I am so desperate at this point I don't know what to do.

Here is a sample of the data.

This is the permission of the file: enter image description here

update:

Answer 1

You should try steps :

1. Right-click on the file
2. Go to Get info > Sharing and permissions
3. Click on + button and add PostgreSQL to permission read this file.
