I mistakenly changed the access settings for your main user directory (excluding root) to full permissions (777). This caused connection problems with remote SSH and SFTP services. Someone can help resolve this.

I investigated further and found myself in a tough spot. I mistakenly altered the permissions on the folder holding the private keys, which prevented Ubuntu from allowing access. Additionally, I changed the permissions on sudo, but that didn’t resolve the issue.
