FTP file Upload Permissions denied headache

[kathleennewbie]

We have spent days at this, searching blogs, and posts across the board, until we found you php freaks... and are hoping someone can resolved this issue.

 

We are copying data from one database to another on the same server, but different accounts. (Centos, WHM, Cpanel)

 

We get errors no matter what we do. FTP chmod on file is 777...

ERROR EXAMPLES

Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: Can't open that file: Permission denied in /home/owbrok/public_html/auto_setup_missing.php on line 361
FTP upload of /home/owbrok/public_html/uploads/images/vendor/small/502_header_short.jpg has failed!

Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: Can't open that file: Permission denied in /home/owbrok/public_html/auto_setup_missing.php on line 403

Are you trying to allow the upload of an image from a user, directly from a page on your website? 

[kathleennewbie]

Well, not really, it is more like we have the users, they have accounts with a default logo image, and so we are trying to copy those images to a local site on the same server (testing local vs. national models) so it is simply using pHP ftp to copy the file, we rename it and then put it to the new folder for the new local site.
