My Downloads folder is not accessible. Help!

I am running El Capitan. I had installed OS X Server and I wanted to enable File Sharing. The folder to share was Downloads. I then removed the folder from within the File Sharing console. Now, my Downloads folder is no longer accessible:

in the command prompt:

macbook:~ codrut.popescu$ ls -al

ls: Downloads: Permission denied
