uploaded file via filezilla to proftp server(on ubuntu 14.04 lts) but reported 550 error
550 download.html: Permission denied
Error: Critical file transfer error
I try to set the directory to chmod 777
but error is same
ftp for download is OK
your comment welcome
Exactly the same thing happened to me after upgrading from Precise Pangolin to Trusty Tahr. I investigated and it looks like /etc/vsftpd.conf, the FTP configuration file, was one of the configuration files amended during the upgrade. Specifically, this line:
write_enable=YES
which I had previously uncommented was now commented again. I uncommented it, restarted the FTP server (sudo restart vsftpd) and suddenly I could upload and amend file permissions again.
