Help! Files deleted, permission denied

Hi, I am using symfony for my project and attempted for the first time to rsync my files to this server. When I did so, I got the error that bash: /home/myproject/.bashrc: Permission denied and could not chdir to home directory /home/myproject: Permission denied.

Then, when I go to the file manager here, I don't see any files and get an error message saying "unable to open/ permission denied." Then, if I try to browse to my website I get a 404 error (which to me indicates that I have accidentally deleted the files).

Questions:
How can I grant access to command line rsycning?
Have I deleted the files in my directory--if so, how do I get them back?
If this is an access issue, how do I get access back?

Certainly not this server; I doubt you have access to the server hosting these forums. Since this isn't a symfony forum I'm not sure anyone would ever figure out why you would even want access to .bashrc; most of us never allow anyone to shell into our servers, and generally we don't need. That said, by default, .bashrc is owned by the user who should be able to modify it.

These forums are for users of DirectAdmin Control Panel software; are you in the right place?
