I created a fresh ftp user named john and changed the owner of my project recursively to john:ftp-users.
I tested the connection in NetBeans. I get connection successfull!.
However, If I try to upload changes, then I get this:
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,40,44,117,81).
STOR bla.sql.new
553 Could not create file.
DELE bla.sql.new
550 Delete operation failed.
So I tested the user on FileZilla. Result: everything works.
I also tested the user on the command line on the server:
ftp localhost
Trying ::1:21 ...
Connected to localhost.

Name (localhost:root): john
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>
As you can see the connection works.
Why can't I upload files on NetBeans?
The permission is set to 744 (directories) and 644 (files).

I tried this answer and this without success.
I looked up the error codes 553 and 550.
553 says it is not working because of the filename not being allowed. So I changed the filename to many different things and it still fails with the same error.
550 is permission denied.

Passive Mode is turned on.
I was able to solve it by changing the upload directory to the home directory of the ftp user.
Setting the upload directory to /srv/www/htdocs solved it, even though the home directory of the ftpuser is already set to /srv/www/htdocs.
If I logged in via FileZilla, then I always started at /srv/www/htdocs, but I was also able to navigate to the root.
I don't know why I had to do this.
