Can't speak to vsftpd on debian in particular, but on the vsftpd I built
from source on alma8, the vsftpd.conf has the following entries:

# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
#write_enable=YES

Thanks, this setting did the trick.
 

# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
#anon_upload_enable=YES

Cheers.
