FTP Permission Denied

    I have a dedicated server running cPanel 11. I use it to host close to 50 web proxies.

    I am having a strange problem where when I go to upload a file to a sub folder, I get a 550 permission denied error. When I went to change the CHMOD permissions, I got another 550 error. Oddly, I am able to upload files to other folders in the account. Logging in with my IP instead of domain as the address makes no difference. I get the error in both FileZilla and SmartFTP.

    I don't understand why I am getting this error. I have around 50 other accounts set up EXACTLY like this one, and never get these error messages.

    What is going on here? I have some rep for anyone who can fix this.

    Just login ssh with root password and change the public_html permission chmod 755 and inside folder chmod 666. It will fix your problem.

    Or just trying restarting the ftp server if you are on a dedicated server.

    Restarting ftp wont help. You need to su to root and change the permisions of the public_html folder of the respective account to 755. It seems to be 000 currently
