WIth the limited information you've given it sounds like a permissions
issue on /var/www/ on the remote machine. Does the user you ftp with
have rights to write to that location? A simple test would be to ssh
to the box in question with the same username/password as you use for
ftp and do

$ cd /var/www
$ touch testfile

If it fails to create a testfile then that may be your issue. It may
mean that you need to ftp in with a more authoritative user (such as
root) or maybe you need to change the permissions on the files in
/var/www ? There are other options, but those are just two.

Cheers,
Al.
