Do a Google on FTP 550.
FTP: 550 error
I’ve seen some questions around regarding the FTP: 550 error, so after covering the FTP 553 error back in October I’m adding the 550 error now.
550 Errors may appear in several forms depending on the FTP server. It may show “550: Permission denied on file: ” or “550 : Access Is Denied” or “Error 550: on file ” and some others. In either case this error is associated with access limitation to specific files or directories and not total rejection of the user’s username and/or password. Most of the times it can result in one of two cases:
1. Your initial FTP directory is not set.
2. The 550 error is a message from the server stating that the account you have currently logged in as does not have permission to perform the action you are attempting. You may be trying to upload to the wrong directory or trying to delete a file.
In either case you are trying to perform some action (upload, delete, move) on files or directories you are not permitted to access. This might happen because you reached the wrong place on the server or the file permissions are not set on the server.
An administrator of the FTP server should check the user’s initial directory and file permissions in this user’s root FTP directory.
