[Solved] SFTP shows SSH_FX_FAILURE when creating directories – please check ACLs or chroot configuration

[devashraf]

• Server: Johnny (johnny.heliohost.org)

• Path: /devashraf/waken.helioho.st/jpnew/

• Directory permissions are 775 recursively

• Error: Could not create directory: Received error SSH_FX_FAILURE with description 'Failure'

• Cannot mkdir or write files, even though 775 is set

Request: Please check if ACLs are restricting write access, or if there's a chroot security policy blocking writes to this directory.
Note: Even file manager uploads fail with the error below: 

No upload response

Some files were not uploaded due to an error. The remaining files will not be uploaded.

Directory permissions are supposed to be 755, not 775. If you've broken your account by changing permissions I would recommend doing a reset.

Thank you. Restoring a previous backup fixed the problem.
The problem happened when I deleted the entire /jpnew/ folder from the server and uploaded another one from the PC.
I already had a backup, which I restored, and everything is OK.

For some reason, local folders can't work, as they result in non-adjustable persmissions problem (persists even if fixed).
I should deal with internal contents, instead of deleting the enitre folder and uploading another.

Thanks again.
