Unable to write lockfile on mod install for server via SFTP connection

- Was able to add the server to the server manager - SMM was able to locate FactoryServer.sh - SMM gives the following error when trying to create a lockfile. The lockfile does not exist when going to the folder manually. When manually creating this file via SFTP (which I am able to, using the same login credentials using FileZilla), it complains about not being able to parse the lockfile (unexpected end of JSON input). So it is able to read it properly but not write to it.
