Uploading into R

Hi 

I am just starting out in R and im trying to upload some data into it. I
have saved a small file from excel as a .txt file in the working directory i
am using in a folder of the same name as the .txt file. When i write the
function to open it I keep getting this message

snow<-read.table("working directory")

Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
  cannot open file 'working directory': Permission denied

I cant seem to get any help on the internet to what I am doing wrong and
what does this mean? 

any help appreciated 

C
