You surely have a couple of years of Linux experience, so you know how to create and list a file; even if you don't know the `chmod` command, you must know what permissions are and that they sometimes prevent an unprivileged user from doing stuff. Aren't you even curious to know if the /tmp directory exists? Page 1 of "How to Ask Questions The Smart Way" says to tell us what you've done to investigate the problem so far. I can't promise that the steps I've suggested will help identify or fix the problem, but they definitely need doing to show the filesystem exists and doesn't have a write-protect switch accidentally flipped - failure to provide this information implies you're sitting helplessly at home waiting for us to tell you all the answers, even the basics.
