Are you connecting as root or do you have a separate user account set-up and are using that?
If you are connecting as root, do you have a password set?
The default config file contains this:
but will only chroot for non-root users (these are different meanings of "root").Code:allow_writeable_chroot=YES

I just use root as my username and 0000 as my password

You shouldn't need to. It's set correctly so that if you connect as root you end up in / with no chroot environment set.
I've just set up my root account with the same password as you and it's OK for me.
Even if I run with and empty vsftpd.chroot_list file (which should contain just "root" - it's a list of accounts which should not chroot) and set /home/root to mode 777 I don't get that error.
The configuration file is /etc/vsftpd.conf - what does yours look like?

What FTP program are you using?

Hi Birdman
Thanks for the info, I'm unable to connect to my box via FTP or Telnet at the moment so I'm unsure how I can tell you what my files look like (I'm not very proficient with Linux/unix) if you could point me in the right direction

switch off receiver and then reboot router and then start the receiver. double check IP address on receiver before entering in filezilla

Is flashing the receiver again an option for you?
factory reset does not do what it's name suggests.
Backup the current image then flash latest image please. do not restore anything. might be better to start from scratch.
