Ftp – proftpd overwrite permission denied ftp user

freebsdftpproftpd

I have a freebsd server with proftpd installed.
When I chmod 777 the directory I can overwrite files, but using 755 permissions on the folder I can not overwrite files in the folder.

In the conf file:
I changed 'AllowOverwrite' to 'on'
I changed User and group to 'root'
but that didn't help.

How do i fix this error?

Here is my proftpd.conf file:

ServerName          "Servername"
ServerType          standalone
