Debian / Proftp 550 Permission denied
I've recently installed proftp on my debian squeeze linode. It works so far but I'm facing several issues now.
In an FTP client such as FileZilla, I am able to access the server and download files without problems, but upload isn't prossible. Trying results in 550 test.txt: Permission denied.
I'm also trying to download/upload directly from NetBeans, but NetBeans reports a 550 permission denied message in both cases. See below the result when downloading a file.
Connection can be established successfully unless sub directories are specified in the settings.

Answer
chown -R (FTPUSER) /(path)/(to_your_ftp)/
Or in my case:
chown -R wordpress /home/wordpress/public_html
