though I am still not sure why 'Ignore Permission Errors' did not work out
Because it is not permission error, but "general failure".

Bug reports without an attached log file are usually useless.
though I am still not sure why 'Ignore Permission Errors' did not work out
Unfortunately, I am not able to provide you the address of the SSH/SFTP server (confidential :P).
But is it possible to have settings on a folder/directory to disable empty files or such?
Upload of file 'file.txt' was successful, but error occurred while setting the permissions and/or timestamp.
If the problem persists, turn on 'Ignore permission errors' option.
General failure (server should provide error description).
