I was unable to create a "4.5" directory as the "updates" user on box2. Owner and Group permission for the "files" directory (rwxr x r x) belonged to "website".
In fact, website does not need write access, just read. "updates" needs write access.
So I gave ownership of "files" to the "updates" user. website still has group.

While it can certainly be changed the management of the FTP site aka Files was assigned to the webteam which had control of the website account and could divvy out access to team members as needed. When this failed, anyone with access to the root account (now sudo access) can always step in.
The practice in the past was for someone with either website or superuser access to create a new directory for the release and give updates write access to it.
