Laravel 5.2 FTP Driver throwing fclose(): supplied resource is not a valid stream resource

I'm trying to use the Laravel FTP Flysystem Adapter. Following the instructions on https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/filesystem I have added the following to my filesystems.php config file

'disks' => [
        'ftp' => [
            'driver'   => 'ftp',
            'host'     => 'ip_address',
            'username' => 'username',
            'password' => 'password',
            'root'     => '/home/username',
            'ssl'      => true,
        ],

    ],

When I'm running any command on the FTP disk like Storage::disk('ftp')->allDirectories('/home/username') I get the following error

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'fclose(): supplied resource is not a valid stream resource' in ../vendor/league/flysystem/src/Adapter/Ftp.php:455

I've tested the FTP server on an FTP client and all works fine.

It turned out that vsftpd was "refusing to run with writable root inside chroot". Nice of PHP to show any kind of custom error.

Solution was to create a new directory within the user's home directory

mkdir /home/username/files

Change the ownership of that file to root

chown root:root /home/username

Make all necessary changes within the "files" subdirectory
