777 permissions are very dangerous and should not be used unless you know what you are doing. If the sam directory has 777, then maybe the home or / is not allowing access.

try ran setenforce 0, and test.(if it is not a prod system)

if it works, check to see if ftp_home_dir is set to "on"(see the below command)? If not, set it to "on" and then turn on SELinux(setenforce 1) and then try again.

# getsebool -a |grep ftp
allow_ftpd_anon_write --> off
allow_ftpd_full_access --> off
allow_ftpd_use_cifs --> off
allow_ftpd_use_nfs --> off
ftp_home_dir --> on
ftpd_disable_trans --> off
ftpd_is_daemon --> on
httpd_enable_ftp_server --> off
tftpd_disable_trans --> off
