Answer 1

Local "permissions error" or "file in use" error are the first two thoughts that occur to me...

Drive was full. Deleting some files solved the problem for me.

Answer 4

I am using Filezilla FTP Server. I was facing problem with Error message 550 Could not open file for writing.

I have removed the directories where the files are downloading. Not physically from the Hard Disk / Storage Media. Just Logically from the FileZilla User Directories assigning options.

And again assign the same directories. Also kick the current Session of transferring files. By Right Click on a particular IP and then you can select the option kick user.

It will quit transferring and withing 1-2 minute it will start downloading files and error will be removed.

Answer 5

Recently I was able to resolve the problem on CentOS 6.9 ISPConfig 3 VPS. It's related to the folder ownership issue.

Using SSH, check your folder and files by running ls -l ownership.

Make sure that the folder is owned by the user and has the correct group. To change folder permission use chown -R web3:client4 /var/www/clients/client4/web3/web/
