As user: h_djebli pointed out in his comment you need to be connected as SYS user in the first place.

To do that, you have to be in your oracle home directory :

cd $ORACLE_HOME

Then execute :

sqlplus / as sysdba

sqlplus will start in your terminal and you'll be connected as the SYS user.

You can finally write the GRANT command in your sqlplus console :

GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.utl_file TO your_db_username;
