But I dont think I have the root access, I have my username for the ssh and password and for the ftp
could someone try to access my ssh client and see whats wrong?
can you not try by adding ftp user in apache group ??

Where do I add this information. Not really a linux guy.
if you have apache group

then you can try this

usermod -a -G apache ftp


so here user ftp will be a part of apache groups

but make sure

you have apache listed in /etc/groups file
