This one is from mkdir trying to create the upload dir in /var/ftp/ and
finding that /var/ftp/ doesn't exist. The -p flag to mkdir tells it to
make parents as required giving:
mkdir -p /var/ftp/upload

This looks like a missing space between the 777 and the /var so chmod
is treating the whole thing as one operand and not finding enough
operands to do anything (not that it would be able to set permissions
to '777/var/ftp/upload' anyway...)
