Cannot upload: Permission denied

[niklaswalendy]

Hey, I'm not entirely new to creating websites and all, but this one leaves me confused:
I'm using filezilla to upload my files. It works fine on another server(on another hosting site) I have, however when I try to upload anything filezilla tells me 'permission denied, if I try to create a folder, it does the same. I have no idea why and I've never had such a problem. The main folder(...) is set to 'xxx' so that shouldn't be the matter, here's the log with censored names and all:
