No write access for vsFTPd server despite 777 permissions on files

Question

I followed this tutorial in order to set up a vsFTPd server on my Raspberry Pi.

Currently I am able to read files without any problem but trying to write gives me this error from Firezilla

550 Permission Denied

I have tried changing the file to 777 permissions to see if I can open it at all but I'm getting the same 550 Permission Denied error. Any thoughts?

Just to follow up in case anyone stumbles upon this. The vsftpd.conf file has to have the following line added:

virtual_use_local_privs=YES
