Description

When I try to upload a file or a set of files I get next error in debian testing:

In the raspberry Pi I get very similar error doing the same:

telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.ChatWriteForbiddenError: You can't write in this chat (caused by SendMediaRequest)

What I Did

I installed the software through

sudo pip3 install -U telegram-upload

Then I went to 

https://my.telegram.org/auth

and the in API development tools I got My API id and API hash.

Then I ran the command:

telegram-upload --to pics --force-file --directories recursive /media/DATOS/media/pics/

and then introduced api_id, api-hash, phone number and code received by phone

@joan-carles reads the error message:

telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.ChatWriteForbiddenError: You can't write in this chat (caused by SendMediaRequest)

However, Telegram-upload should catch this error if there are no permissions for the chat id.

Hi

I'm trying to upload files in a private channel. The private channel only has 1 member and this member is the administrator. And this user absolutely has all the permissions.

https://imgur.com/Xmj4tCD.png

Do I have to add another user in order upload with telegram upload?

Any solution in order to fix the problem? Right now in my case the software is completely broken.

How can I have permission for an specific chat id? I really thought that if you introduce information about api, your phone number and the access code then you should have permissions. Oww I see you are Spanish :D (Yo también)

If I miss something trivial sorry.

[joan-carles]

It was my mistake. Instead of invitation link to channel I used the channel name. So the software works well. Was my mistake

Thanks
