I haven't looked at the defaults, but the /etc/ftpaccess file has specific
actions that are allowed and not allowed based on the type of connection.

Here's the intro to the appropriate section from 'man ftpaccess':

---
upload [absolute|relative|-] <root-dir> <dirglob> <yes|no> <owner> <group>
<mode> ["dirs"|"nodirs"] [<d_mode>]

Define a directory with <dirglob> that permits or denies uploads.

There's a lot more in the man file about the specifics.  From what I
briefly perused, it sounds like you have to specifically allow uploads.
