I am using Ubuntu 24.04. My problem occurs only on the secondary SDD, not the primary, original one. I would like to download things to it using a script, but every time I try to use curl to download, it gives the error "Permission denied".
What I have tried:
* Running the command as sudo
* Creating a new mount point for the drive and editing fstab
* Giving the directory user and group read, write and execute permissions (sudo chmod 777)
But the problem persists.
Edit as per request in comment:
Permissions of the directory where I am trying to dl the files: `drwxrwxrwx 4 laur laur`
```
$ namei -l /media/laur/Herz/home/laur/Desktop/ncbi_dl/
f: /media/laur/Herz/home/laur/Desktop/ncbi_dl/
drwxr-xr-x root root /
...
$ mount | grep "nvme0n1p2"
/dev/nvme0n1p2 on /media/laur/Herz type ext4 (rw,relatime)
~~```~~

Permission denied when using curl on secondary drive

I am using Ubuntu 24.04. My problem occurs only on the secondary SDD, not the primary, original one. I would like to download things to it using a script, but every time I try to use curl to download, it gives the error "Permission denied".
What I have tried:
* Running the command as sudo
* Creating a new mount point for the drive and editing fstab
* Giving the directory user and group read, write and execute permissions (sudo chmod 777)
But the problem persists.
Edit as per request in comment:
