The directory folder where you upload the file(s) and folder(s) inito must have the ownership of Apache and the permission of 755. Then you'll have no trouble uploading file(s)/folder(s) into it since Apache would have the permission to create the file(s)/folder(s) where none exist or update them only if the file(s)/folder(s) was created by Apache in the past. If those file(s)/folder(s) weren't created by Apache but by you or someone then it wouldn't work because the ownership would be different, you'll need to change the ownership and permission to what Apache can use.
This is from what I had noticed and had no trouble with them since then. When I move the files from 1 webserver to another, I alway check the ownership and correct it if it is wrong the first time.
