Upload folders in root domain directory

[jago86]

Hi,
I need upload some folders to the root directory of my site, at the same level of public_html (not inside). But when I try to upload through FTP I get the error "553 Could not create file.". How can I solve this? Thanks

Try /etc/vsftpd.conf

chroot_local_user=NO

yes by default
