I am using ubuntu server with FTP, and I don't have permision to upload files. I think this is because of ubuntu, How do i change the permisions of files on ubuntu server? 12.04.

I had the same problem. But it turns out the problem was in the /etc/vsftpd.conf file. You have to uncomment the write_enable=YES line. Or just make sure it says YES and not NO. That is what fixed it for me.

I would need to know where the files are, but this is an example:

user: alex
folder: /home/ftp/alex

sudo chown -R root:alex /home/ftp/alex
sudo chmod -R 774 /home/ftp/alex

That should give you enough permissions to do what you need.
