I'm running a local server in my network, powered by Ubuntu 22.04, that shares a folder with all stations.

I've installed a VPN using ZeroTier to access this local server from anywhere.

Everything seems to be working perfectly, except when I open a folder in VS Code and try to save a file, I encounter a permission error.

Here's the error message I receive:

Failed to save '.env.example': Command failed: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd" --file-write "c:\Users\feedc\AppData\Roaming\Code\code-elevated-zTqUa1mg" "\\192.168.196.241\storage\repos\node.js\airbnb-auto-email\.env.example"
Error using --file-write: EPERM: operation not permitted, open '\\192.168.196.241\storage\repos\node.js\airbnb-auto-email\.env.example'

What puzzles me is that the network drive functions correctly when I'm using Sublime or when I save a file directly to it.

Using a local address or VPN address the error is the same. (Only in visual studio)

My network drive is mapped using a user and password. Which is different from my Windows session.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I solved it. When I gave permissions in the directory I ran the command chmod 770 instead of 775. That was causing the issue. Only when I opened it as a folder in Vscode and Sublime. It seems to me that when Vscode and Sublime are opened as a project, they execute something in the directory which is obviously blocked by execution in Ubuntu Samba with permission 770.
