FTP + MYSQL users cant overwrite files

I followed these instructions:
http://howtoforge.com/proftpd_mysql_virtual_hosting

and I have everything set up and working and can connect and upload files and delete files but when I am trying to upload or replace an existing file I get an error. How can I fix this?

 

What's the exact error message?

 

The ftp program will generally "Can not transfer, you do not have permission"
Except the directory that the ftp connects to is chmodded to 777 so everyone has full read write and execute.

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /home

and

Code:

ls -la /path/to/your/FTP_dir

?

 

This is my output when i put that command:
drwxrwxrwx 3 genq williamp0044 4096 2006-07-20 08:28 .
drwxrwxrwx 13 ftpuser root 4096 2006-07-15 17:11 ..
drwxrwxrwx 7 genq williamp0044 4096 2006-07-20 08:28 web

Rather than using a user from the mysql database I added a user to the unix passwd file but that user still cannot overwrite files.

 

I've read that by default proftpd does not allow ftp clients to overwrite exsisting files, how can I change this?

 

What's in /etc/proftpd.conf?
