Обсуждение: problem with COPY command

I have a problem to populate a database with the copy command

my write command are:

> COPY telefono FROM '/home/alain/Documents/prueba2.txt'
>  WITH DELIMITER AS ',';

The pgsql server answer the following:

> ERROR:  COPY command, running in backend with effective uid 26, could

COPY runs as the owner of the backend process, not of the client. You
can either give the backend owner permission to read the file or psql
\copy, which runs locally.
