 * Our wp-config.php file was deleted, but we have a backup. We have SFTP’d into
   our backend, but it won’t let us upload the new wp-config. It says we don’t have
   permission.
 * How can we upload the backup wp-config file?
 * We are running wordpress on google cloud server.
 * Thank you!

 * I would contact your host because it sounds like your ftp account has the wrong
   owner or something along those lines.

 * Well, here is the complete solution to upload any file including WordPress config.
   file on sftp. I followed the same method and it worked. I hope it will work for
   you as well.
