Hi Andrew,
I do not have ssh access to my droplet. I am using Filezilla and trying to write into the home folder for my user.
I ran sudo chown root:root /home/cnaptic
cnaptic is the user I am using.
I’d strongly encourage you to use SFTP rather than FTP. Check out this article for the details. If you’re able to connect to your droplet with SSH, than you should be all set to go with SFTP.
As for your specific question, how are you trying to upload the files? Are you using a client like Filezilla? What folder are you trying to put them? Does your user have write access there?
