to use record.py in my phone. Record.py should be in root folder(home/user)

MyDocs is vfat filesystem mounted with noexec option which prevents you from making files executable on it. And thus you have no permission to execute it => "Permission denied". You can still run scripts from it by executing interpreter and passing the script name to it as an argument:

Code:

$ python record.py

But you don't need to put the script in the same folder. Just run it using absolute path:

Code:

$ cd MyDocs/.videos/or/whatever/wherever
$ /home/user/bin/record.py

It will use current folder as working directory.

And /home/user is not root folder, it's users' $HOME directory. $HOME for user root is typically /root and the root directory is /
