[SOLVED] Unable to write into /var/www/html with my user account

I believe this confirms I have added my user account to the www-data group

Code:wh33t@box:/var/www$ groups
wh33t adm dialout cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
wh33t@box:/var/www$ groups wh33t
wh33t : wh33t adm dialout cdrom sudo dip www-data plugdev lpadmin sambashare
wh33t@box:/var/www$ id wh33t
uid=1000(wh33t) gid=1000(wh33t) groups=1000(wh33t),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),33(www-data),46(plugdev),115(lpadmin),136(sambashare)And yet I cannot seem to edit or create files in the /var/www/html directory

Code:wh33t@box:/var/www$ pwd
/var/www
wh33t@box:/var/www$ ls -l

drwxrwxr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 20 15:47 html
wh33t@box:/var/www$ touch html/test.txt
