Permissions issue

[vitaly]

When I create a folder via SSH and then try to upload files to that folder with FireFTP, I get an 553 permission error. Maybe this is because I login to SSH with 'root' and to FTP with another name (though, same password)?
Please, advise what I can do.

Vitaly,

This is normally due to you make the folder, and not changing the ownership which by default is set to "root:root" so you will need to do something like this:

# cd /home/username
# cd /public_html/
# chown username:username newfolder/

That will fix that problem and you should be able to upload into that folder again. I would try to avoid making folders in ssh, unless you know it well....
