uploading files to /uploads via FTP. Permission denied

  • I’ve migrated my site to another server and I’ve run into a strange permissions error with my /uploads folder. This is what I get in my FTP client.

    Status:	Starting upload of C:\Users\Greg.Fitzpatrick\Desktop\bu\MNO\wp-content\uploads\2017\06\smallperc-mobile-300x228.jpg
Command:	CWD /httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2017
Response:	250 CWD command successful
Command:	TYPE I
Response:	200 Type set to I
Command:	PASV
Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (207,97,210,200,151,38).
Command:	STOR smallperc-mobile-300x228.jpg
Response:	550 smallperc-mobile-300x228.jpg: Permission denied
Error:	Critical file transfer error

    This is only an issue within my /uploads folder. I keep my permissions set to 775 but for this is changed them to 777 and I am still unable to upload files to the /uploads folder. I can however upload files to this folder through the WordPress interface (add new in the Media Library)

    Any idea whats up here? I’m at a bit of a loss.
