Yes it is a rights issue. I have a scrip file I will attach which will allow you to open the var folder with root right and allow you to change the www folder rights.
Here is what you need to do: copy the script file into a hidden folder in your home folder. The folder name is .gnome2. Don't forget the dot before the name.
When you go the var folder, right click on the www folder and you will see a popout menu goto the scripts and choose “root-nautilus-here”. You will be asked for your password and then will be able to change the rights on the folder www. When you are done I would change it back.
By the way I use fireFTP right out of Firefox. Once you set it up it is easy to transfer files.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# root-nautilus-here
# opens a root-enabled instance of a nautilus window in selected location
# requires sudo priviledges and gksudo, which may involve security risks.
#Install in your ~/Nautilus/scripts directory.

# 2004.04.18 -- keith@penguingurus.com - Added gksudo usage to provide popup
# password window if sudo has expired. Line only echos got
# root to std output. But gksudo updates your sudo access
# privs, so running nautilus with sudo will succeed
# without asking for a password.
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for nautilus root access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo nautilus --no-desktop $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI
