Before creating this post I've searched SOF for similar problems but I didn't those advices didn't help me.

Magento Error: CONNECT ERROR: Please check for sufficient write file permissions.Your Magento folder does not have sufficient write permissions, which downloader requires.

I have checked 100's times - permissions are right 777 for all the possible folders (var, media, downloader, etc), but still no luck.

At the same time I can download/upload files using FileZilla SFTP - I also can upload for example, images when I work with pages, but only with Chrome and can't do with Safari. Website is currently is on beta version and is accessible only via IP, but I guess this has nothing to do with it.

This:Magento Connect Manager & ftp write file permissions nor this: Warning: Your Magento folder does not have sufficient write permissions nor this: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/resetting_file_permissions

didn't help me...

When I was doing last url's advice I got error:

sudo chmod o+w var app/etc
chmod: cannot access ‘var’: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access ‘app/etc’: No such file or directory

Please let me know what I can do to fix this! Maybe this has something to do with my hosting - Digitalocean?

Thanks in advance!

Try to use full path to this folders and set permissions to subfiles/subfolders too:

sudo chmod -R 775 /full/path/to/magento/app/etc
sudo chmod -R 775 /full/path/to/magento/var

if it still return 'No such file or directory', just create it before:

sudo mkdir /full/path/to/magento/app/etc
sudo mkdir /full/path/to/magento/var

If this don't help - contact your hosting support, may be web server user is 'nobody' and don't have permissions to folders or something like this.
