title: Problems installing Joomla plugins
body: <p>I have a J2.5 install that simply refuses to install plugins using the extensions manager.</p>
  
  <p>The directories are all writable, the Forum Post Assistant reports that session is writable, tmp path is ok, and the relevant directories have been made chmod777, and all files on the server have the same owner. Yet I still receive the following error when I try to install</p>
  
  <pre><code>JFTP: :mkdir: Bad response
  JFTP: :chmod: Bad response
  Component Install: Failed to create site directory: path.to/components/com_neorecruit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I manually create the com_neorecruit directory then I receive the following error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: path.to/administrator/components/com_neorecruit
  JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: path.to/administrator/components/com_neorecruit
  JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
  JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
  JFTP: :mkdir: Bad response
  JFTP: :chmod: Bad response
  Component Update: Failed to create admin directory:path.to/administrator/components/com_neorecruit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any thoughts greatly appreciated.</p>
