SFTP error#3: Permission denied

Question

Till yesterday login to our Ubuntu-20.04 LTS was working fine, But today suddenly it started showing below error while trying to login.

SFTP error#3: Permission denied

$ ls
ls: cannot open directory '.': Permission denied

We have not modified any settings then Why do i get "permission denied" even when user has sudo privileges?

Have tried to change the permisison using below command, however didn't help.

chown -R devuser:devuser /home/devuser
