vsftpd and create a directory

[Rafnews]

Hi,

i setup a FTP server on our local development server.
So as a developer i can upload and modify websites structure in 
development steps.

everything works well except for 1 thing.

- ftp root is /var/www/html
in this directory i have several other directories like /joomla, 
/magento etc...
in existing directories, i can easily create new subdirectories and files.

however, under the ftp root so under /var/www/html i'm not able to 
create a new directory.
i check the user it is the same as the other directories owner (/joomla, 
/magento, ..)

so what am i doing wrong ?
thx.

A.

My guess would be that you have too-slack permissions on the ones that
you can make directories (as it seems all too many people give things
like joomla unlimited rights to do things / stuff things up).  But you
haven't given us enough information.

The output from "ls -l" on directories that you can and can't create
directories in, would help.  Start off with:  ls -l /var/www

you are right a stupid permission access.
/html directory is owned by root and with  705 as permission
