FTP: Critical file transfer error 550 Permission denied

Struggling a bit with Critical file transfer error 550 Permission denied when I try to make changes to files that are not located in the httpdocs folder.

Most files are stored in the httpdocs, except when setting up new domains / subdomains.

So what I want is either a solution to the problem.

Or a guide on how to set the Document root * to automatically add a sub-folder in httpdocs when creating an additional domain or a subdomain. Without getting the error message "The Specified directory is overlapped by a web application that installed The httpdocs." or the need to write "httpdocs / subfolder / in the text box.

A solution is preferable, in order to avoid that customers my unwanted deleting all files that belong to subdomain or additional domains.

you would need to change the directory permissions for a sub domain to allow your main user access to it.
 
Tnx

Guessed i had to do something like that, but iv been struggling to find out how to do it.
 
i'm bumping into this "550: Critical File error" message everytime I try to upload anything... it's driving me crazy. checked my firewall , turned it off and tried again... no luck. do any of you guys have any suggestions?
 
What are the owner:group and permissions, and what user are you logged in as when you get the error? Is immutable set?
 
where can I find the permissions settings? im logged in as the main account , my IP name.
 
go into the file manager for the domain or ssh for the domain and see what is there.
for immutable you would need to be in ssh and look at the files with lsattr
