I have vsftpd up and running on SuSE 11.1. From a windows xp machine
I connect to the SuSE machine and change to the directory I want to
upload to. Then I issue the put w123.txt and then I receive the "550
Permission denied message." The directory to receive the file has
permissions of 777. So why the permission denied message?

In your vsftp configuration file, have you set the
write_enable configuration parameter to YES?
man vsftpd
write_enable
This controls whether any FTP commands which change the filesystem are allowed or not.
These commands are: STOR, DELE, RNFR, RNTO, MKD, RMD, APPE and SITE.
Default: NO
The permission on the directory should only be 755 or for privacy 700.
