open for write: permission denied and file transfer is not possible

environment

• amazon linux
• aws
• ec2
• open for write: permission denied
• mac

I can not transfer files using ftp client

I tried to transfer the file to amazon linux set up for ec2 but I could not transfer the file due to an error saying open for write: permission denied. I challenged chmod 777 or something but I could not.

You only need to be able to access ec2 users

chown -R ec2-user /var/www/html

chmod -R 755 /var/www/html

reference

Amazon AWS Filezilla transfer permission denied
