There is a WordPress installation on one of the virtual hosts, and when the user attempts
to install a plugin using the FTP Details they are met with this error.

Unpacking the package… Could not create directory.

Looks again like a user / group / permissions problem.

How do i best configure webmin’s users and groups to allow a particular FTP user the
ability to read & write VIA ftp and to allow wordpress too .

Current USER:GROUP = ftpuser:www-data
Current FOLDER / FILE Permissions are : 0775
