Permission denied to home directory.

I use smartFTP to upload files for my website on my friends server. I was able to log-on succesfully twice, but when i logged off for my friend to post the website, he uses Abyss web server, i could not log back on. Here's what i get:

Resolving host name msmollison.no-ip.org...
Connecting to (msmollison.no-ip.org) -> IP: 65.41.183.33 PORT: 21
Connected to (msmollison.no-ip.org) -> Time = 281ms
Socket connected waiting for login sequence.

USER joshmitchell
331 User name okay, Need password.
PASS (hidden)
421 Permission denied to home directory.
Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...

I've checked the username and password over and over again, and the server name, as has my friend. My friend wants to reboot the server but has not had time. If anyone could help us, we would be greatly appreciative. Thanx.

I think that it's a server permisions issue. Ask your friend to check the permisions.
