I don't know why it's giving me the Permission denied.

Please help.
Obviously I'm very much a beginner.

chmod -R 777 /Users/ryanwagner/Desktop/

and try again.

It seems to be working now after that, but I tried to make another file but the problem with this is...

-bash: /Users/ryanwagner/Desktop/Test: No such file or directory

[McZim]

show me

#ls -l /Users/ryanwagner/Desktop/

it doesn't do anything... This is a mac I'm using. With a mac, do people normally have to tweak anything to get a complier to work?
