chmod -R 1777 /var/www/html/websitename
nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

Make changes like as shown

# Set off to disable IPv6 support which is annoying on IPv4 only boxes.
UseIPv6                         off

# Use this to jail all users in their homes.
DefaultRoot                     /var/www/html/websitename websitename
DefaultRoot                     ~

# Save and exit
