# Uploading Plugins

 * I’m having trouble uploading a WP plugin via FTP. Here is the FTP log:
 * TYPE I
    200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (67,19,100,2,64,61)
   STOR wp-scrobbler.php 553-Can’t open that file: Permission denied 553 Rename/
   move failure: No such file or directory CWD /public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/
   250 OK. Current directory is /public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins PWD 257 “/public_html/
   dev/wp-content/plugins” is your current location TYPE A 200 TYPE is now ASCII
   PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (67,19,100,2,162,114) LIST 150 Accepted data connection
   226-Options: -a -l 226 5 matches total Transfer done: 316 bytes in 1.047 secs(
   0.30 KB/s)
 * I tried to chmod to 777 but it wouldn’t let me do that, however I was able to
   rename the wp-content directory. Does anyone have any idea why this might be 
   happening? Any help at all is greatly appreciated, thanks!
