Какой же web сервер без ftp. Для нашего сервера мы будем использовать vsftpd — простой, быстрый и безопасный FTP сервер, который будет доступен из мира (пробросим порты на роутере).
Установка сервера предельно проста:
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
После установки необходимо немного настроить наш сервер. Для подключения к ftp серверу используеться профиль пользователя системы. Настройка сервера производится через конфигурационный файл /etc/vsftpd.conf, откроем его и немного отредактируем. Выполним команду:
sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf
Не будем описывать все параметры, остановимся на самых интересных:
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO разрешим вход только локальным пользователям
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES разрешим пользователям записывать файлы
local_umask=022 укажем серверу автоматически выставлять нужные права (755 на папки и 644 на файлы)
После всех манипуляций не забываем перезагрузить сервер:
sudo service vsftpd restart
После всех манипуляций не забываем перезагрузить сервер:
sudo service vsftpd restart
550 Permission denied при попытке записать файлы
Сервер настроен, подключение есть, но когда мы пытаемся скопировать что то на наш сервер ничего не выходит. Получаем ошибку «550 Permission denied«.
В первую очередь необходимо убедится, что в конфигурационном файле /etc/vsftpd.conf присутствует строчка write_enable=YES.
Пользователям разрешена запись файлов но ничего не происходит и мы все так же получаем 550 Permission denied.
Дело в том что у папки в которую вы хотите записать файлы должны быть соответствующие права доступа, а именно 777. Выполним команду:
sudo chmod -R 777 /my_ftp_dir/
Показывать скрытые файлы при подключение
Настроили, подключаемся — все хорошо, да не очень. Не видны скрытые файлы и папки. Для того что бы скрытые файлы стали видимыми в конфигурационном файле /etc/vsftpd.conf допишем следующею строку:
force_dot_files=YES
После всех манипуляций не забываем перезагрузить сервер:
sudo service vsftpd restart
550 permission denied vsftpd
Поднимаю ftp сервер на Debian 9. При попытке создать директорию\файл выскакивает ошибка. Необходимо дать разрешение единственному пользователю (ftpuser) полный доступ к шаре. Что я делаю не так?
Спасибо.

Частая ошибка, для начала убедитесь в наличии строки write_enable=YES в конфиге сервера .
Если после этого, ничего не поменялось, то проверьте права у папки на сервере, ftp пользователь должен иметь права на запись в них. Для установки прав на папку воспользуйтесь командой:
sudo chmod -R ftpuser:ftpuser /path/to/folder

I suddenly get the error 550: Permission Denied in Filezilla when I try to create a new directory.
A few days ago I changed some settings on the server regarding ssl and imap settings, but I don’t think this has affected the FTP settings …
Anyhow, after long googling nothing seems to work. The main idea could be that the user hasn’t got permissions, but the interesting thing is that I can:
- create files
- delete files
- delete directories
But not creating directories. I get the error «550 Permission denied» in the main directory and «550 access_log: No such file or directory» in the subdirectory.
Anyone knows where the error could be? Thanks

1, Add the following parameters in your vsftpd.conf to give permission to anonymous user or script in your Linux machine. The vsftpd.conf may be located in /etc/vsftpd.conf.
write_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
2, Restart ftp service in your server.
sudo systemctl restart vsftpd

Assuming you are on Linux, Go up one directory, and see if the user has permissions there. For example:
Try setting the permissions on the directory to 777. If it works you know you have a problem with the permissions. DO NOT leave the directory at 777, it is not secure, just for quick testing. 755 is usually appropriate if you have everything set up correctly. You can also try adding the user to the group that owns the directory (you can do this through ls -l). This will tell you what user owns that.

I got a 550 using FTP with Filezilla because regular FTP didn’t have high enough permissions on my server.
I switched to an SSH/SFTP connection and that fixed it.

Filezilla project has a good piece on Securing your Windows Service installation. In essence:
Create User
- Close the Filezilla interface (if open)
- Stop the Filezilla service
- Create a User level (not Administrator level) Windows account for FileZilla service to run under, with «password never changes»
- In Services, open Filezilla properties, Log On tab and change to run with the new account
Folder Permissions
- Give Write permissions to the new user on
C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla Server\FileZilla Server.xml - If you use logging, set «Write» access to
C:\Windows\Logs - On target FTP upload folders set «Full Control» to each topmost writable folder you want to use
Restart Service

If someone ended here searching for Command: PWD Response: 550 PWD: Permission denied instead, check the for the presence of .ftpaccess file in the home dir, in my case it was causing the error.

FTP is a simple method to upload files to the server.
Although, it is rather easy to transfer files, FTP users often get stuck with errors. One such FTP error is “550 No such file or directory“.
Broadly speaking, this error means that the file or folder do not exist.
As part of our Outsourced Technical Support Services, we regularly fix these type of FTP errors for our customers.
Today, we’ll see the causes for the error “FTP 550 no such file or directory” and how our Support Engineers fix them.
What is FTP 550 error?
Firstly, let’s get a quick idea on the FTP 550 error.
The 5xx error falls under the permanent negative completion reply status of the FTP server. And, it means that the FTP server did not accept the command and the requested action did not take place. Further more, x5x error denotes File system errors in FTP server.
Overall, the 550 error means the file was not found or there are access restrictions for the file.
Causes for “FTP 550 no such file or directory”
Recently, one of our customers reported trouble with FTP upload. The logs of his FTP session looked as shown below.
STATUS:> Transferring file "/mydir/home.html"...
COMMAND:> SIZE home.html
550 home.html: No such file.
STATUS:> Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access).
COMMAND:> CWD /mydir/home.html
550 /mydir/home.html: No such file or directory.Here, the customer was trying to PUT the file home.html via FTP. And that resulted in the error.
Now, let’s see the top causes for the error.
1. Incorrect path
Usually, “FTP 550 no such file or directory” error happens when the customers try to upload files from the wrong directory.
For example, when the file is present in the folder /home/user/abc.html, an attempt to upload from the path /home will cause this error.
This error also happens when customer uses the relative path in FTP.
2. Permission problems
Similarly, wrong permission on the files or folders can also cause this 550 error. When the user do not have privileges on the file they are trying to access, it will report the 550 error.
Additionally, a typo in the file name will also lead to this error.
3. Wrong Mount points
Again, we often see FTP 550 errors when users trying to access files in the mounted file systems.
For instance, recently a customer complained about the problems accessing files via FTP. In his server, he had a mounted file system. But, this mount failed after a server reboot. And, when he tried to access a file in this mounted directory, it resulted in the error:
550 : No such file or directoryHow to fix FTP 550 error?
Till now, we saw the various causes for the FTP 550 error. Let’s now have a look on how to fix it.
We already know that the underlying reason for the FTP 550 error could be file not residing at the path.
That’s why, our Support Engineers first check the exact path that the customer uses via FTP. We connect to the server via SSH and confirm the presence of the file. If the file is not found on the path, we advise customer on the correct path. Or, for file name typo issues, we educate customer on the exact file name.
We always encourage customers to use the absolute path of the file in FTP connections.
Similarly, we check the server mount points and confirm the availability of file system and its contents too.

In short, FTP error “550 no such file or directory” happens mainly when the file do not exist at the path, due to permission problems, etc. Today, we saw the top causes for the error and how our Support Engineers fix them.

What is FTP?
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a standard way of transferring files between computers over the internet. It’s commonly used by web developers, designers, and other IT professionals to upload and download files to a website’s server. FTP generally requires a username and password for authentication.
However, as with any technology, there are occasionally errors that can occur during the FTP transfer process. One of the most common is Debian FTP Server Error 550.
What is Debian FTP Server Error 550?
Debian FTP Server Error 550 is an error message that appears when there’s an issue with file permissions during an FTP transfer. Essentially, it means that the user attempting to transfer a file doesn’t have permission to do so.
Here’s the exact error message you might see:
|

The file or folder you’re attempting to upload or download denies access to the user you’re using to connect to the server. This can be due to incorrect permissions settings on the server. |
What Causes Debian FTP Server Error 550?
There are several potential causes of Debian FTP Server Error 550:
- Incorrect file permissions: This is the most common cause of Debian FTP Server Error 550. If the file or folder you’re trying to transfer doesn’t have the correct permissions, you won’t be able to access it.
- Incorrect login credentials: If you’re using the wrong username or password to connect to the FTP server, you won’t be able to access the file or folder.
- Corrupt or incomplete file transfer: If the file you’re trying to transfer is corrupt or incomplete, you may encounter this error message.
- FTP server configuration issues: Occasionally, the issue may be with the FTP server’s configuration rather than the file or user permissions.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using FTP Servers
Now that we’ve discussed what Debian FTP Server Error 550 is and what causes it, let’s take a quick look at the advantages and disadvantages of using FTP servers in general.
Advantages of Using FTP Servers
- Easy file transfer: FTP servers provide an easy way to transfer files between computers over the internet.
