Just a guess, but root may mean root directory. Does you're FTP program change to a specific directory upon successfull login? If so, make sure that directory exists and that you have permissions to that directory.

It doesn't change to a root directory. I did try setting one just to test, but that didn't help. I'm sure the directory exists because the files are accessible through http.
Question/Problem: I keep receiving an error message: "550 permission denied or 550 access denied". What does this mean?
Answer/Solution: 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.
What are you doing when the error occurs?

hm. All I'm doing is logging in - user and password is sent and the next message I recieve is the 550 (no successful login acknowledgement either). I'm not trying to login as root.
Quote: Yeah, it probably means that the user that is setup doesn't have a home directory to access.
Sounds plausible. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong with my settings. I'll email the server admin.
Thanks a lot.

Are you trying to login as root? Try setting up another user and connecting.
