FTP unable to write to a mounted drive

I'm using Mint Linux 22.1 and vsftpd on the destination computer and Windows 11 (latest version) as the source computer. I have the following permissions. In my home directory I have a symlink to a mounted NTFS drive: The permissions to the mounted NTFS drive's directories are: I have added FACL permissions to each directory making todd an owner of each directory (also did a chown from root to todd in a separate, unsuccessful attempt). **Upon further investigation it appears the setfacl didn't actually do anything (apparently due to the file system being NTFS). So, now the question becomes why didn't the chown where I set my user account as owner solve the problem?** I have set write_enable=YES in the /etc/vsftpd.conf file When I try accessing the symlink using Windows 11's file explorer: ftp://todd@192.168.40.77/NTFS2TB/backups/ I can see files and directories within the NTFS2TB directory, but I cannot upload any files into it. What do I need to do to enable uploading files to the Linux computer's backups directory from Windows 11? EDIT: Showing the filesystem of NTFS2TB is NTFS EDIT 2: The vsftpd.log file entry for an attempt to upload is as follows: Sat Apr 26 16:33:42 2025 [pid 6734] CONNECT: Client "::ffff:192.168.40.161" Sat Apr 26 16:33:42 2025 [pid 6733] [todd] OK LOGIN: Client "::ffff:192.168.40.161" Sat Apr 26 16:33:42 2025 [pid 6736] [todd] FAIL DELETE: Client "::ffff:192.168.40.161", "/media/todd/NTFS_PARTITION_2TB/backups/DumpStack.log" EDIT 3: I converted the drive from NTFS to EXT4 and it works now! Thanks everyone.
