Answer:

The “Permission denied, file: sftp_test.txt” message is what comes back
from the SFTP server. The filename has no path part, so you’re trying to
open/create a file in the home directory of the SFTP user account used in the authentication.
(AuthenticatePw method I assume?)

Try providing an absolute filepath instead. Also, perhaps try “readWrite” instead
of “writeOnly”.
