  <p>I saw some answerers from stackoverflow like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5272233/copy-function-doesnt-work">answers1</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3062268/permission-denied-after-image-upload">answer2</a> but I am not sure how to do that? Is there any other suggestion?</p>
