This is just a suggestion, both.
At first the FTP server checks if the logged in user has permission to
do this action (reading, writing, deleting, ...) and next of course the
OS also checks if you have permission to do that, but normally the user
who started the ftp-server is the user that executes that task and needs
permission, so if you try to delete /dev, if would fail, cause the OS
says no, although the FTP server could say yes.
