that's an error or status code returned by the FTP
server. It indicates a technical problem with the server side file system.

You may be on the right trail assuming a permission problem - but it's not about permissions on your local machine where you're going to put the downloaded file; instead, it's likely to be a permission problem on the server side. Either a misconfiguration, or the file's ownership and access rights are set deliberately so that the ftp process can't access the file. However, then it would be a lot smarter not to put the file there in the first place.
But don't forget that a permission issue isn't the only possibility. A 550 status code is fairly generic in FTP and merely indicates a file-system related problem that probably won't sort itself out on its own. Trying to access a non-existent file yields the same status code (unlike HTTP, where there is a dedicated status code for "Not Found", the 404). So before you go on, double-check that you don't simply have a typo.

Contact the server administrator or the people who run the FTP service. Whatever the actual problem is, it seems to be on their side.
