This Error may hit you when you have installed vsftpd and trying to ftp to it.
This happens because we are using chroot, which want to us that user should not have write access to the top level directory within the chroot.
To solve the issue add following line to /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.
allow_writeable_chroot=YES
After saving the changes , restart the vsftpd service.
[root@dockerserver log]# service vsftpd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart vsftpd.service
Now test the Ftp Connection.
