Virtual Server admin FTP permission denied

I'm having trouble with a folder in the public_html/ directory after importing an account from cPanel. This account had an extra FTP user created with access to a folder in public_html/

This works fine for that FTP user however the admin FTP for that virtual server cannot edit anything within that folder. It has 755 permissions and belongs to the same group so I'm not sure what to look for?

The admin user can rename or delete the folder but can't add files to it.

Thanks for your help.

Howdy,

If the FTP user is part of the group that the directory belongs to, but isn't the user who owns it -- the directory would need "775" permissions, rather than "755".

Having 755 permissions means that the group has read and execute permissions, but not write permissions.
