Not quite.

For FTP, 550 is "Requested action not taken. File unavailable" (eg.
file not found, no access to the file or, file busy). I do know that FTP
clients like WS-FTP, for instance, give "550 Permission denied" but,
that's just a client-specific hack and has little to do with the 'real'
meaning of the code (with real meaning I mean RFC-compliant reply
codes[1]).
