ftp permission denied after ispconfig 3.1 upgrade

Hi,
I created in a new FTP user in ispconfig 3.1 (this did not happen in 3.0.4)
when i try to upload a file it says permission denied.
i logged in as root and ran this command chown -R -v -f web1 web
but it gives me an error
failed to change ownership of ‘web’ to web1
any ideas how to make this work?
thank you
Ben

 

i tried uploading in the web folder

 

i figured it out. i had to first navigate in ssh to /var/www/mysite.com (which brings you to client number and web number)
then i typed chown -R -v -f web1 web
and it now works. sorry for the confusion!
