Hi i'm having a problem where i cant upload files or make folders. I keep getting this error:

Error: Unable to create directory /httpdocs/player: filemng failed: mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/www/vhosts/gottavideo.com/httpdocs/player': Permission denied
filemng: Error occured during /bin/mkdir command.

I get this error when i am logged in ad the admin in plesk 8.2. I am the only user and i am the admin. I also tried using my ftp but it does nothing.

hi,

Check if the directory has correct permissions.
# ls -lad /var/www/vhosts/gottavideo.com/httpdocs/
drwxr-x--- 8 FTP_user_name psaserv 4096 Oct 28 17:48 /var/www/vhosts/gottavideo.com/httpdocs/

it says the permissions for httpdocs is: rwx r-x r-x . if This is incorrect i dont know how to change it.

it is strange. if you created directory under root account you should be able to create it anyway.

1) check it
#whoami
root

if you are not "root" - this is the reason )

2) Useful commands:
#chmod --help (to change rights)

#chown --help (to change user:group)
