FTP: VSFTPD 550 Permission Denied Error

By

 Issue: 

The VSFTP Server by default doesn't allow to write data to the server. To allow this need to change the configuration on the server. 

ftp> put file1.txt

local: file1.txt remote: file1.txt

200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.

550 Permission denied.

ftp>

Mitigation:

Edit vsftpd.conf file 
$ sudo vi /etc/vsftpd.conf

uncomment the line "write_enable=YES"
write_enable=YES

Restart the service to effect the configuration change. 
$ sudo service vsftpd restart

Now you should able to write to the vsftpd server.
