Ftp users are unable to upload, create and modify
files and folder on VSFTPD.
(they could login and see files and folders,
but they couldn’t modify)

My VPS is running ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I installed VSFTPD to manage the folder
of websites in /var/www/html/(userfolder).
Then i installed XINETD to run VSFTPD.

About permissions:
I tried to give to the main folder 766 755 and (just for test) also 777.
I tried a lot of other configuration… …but, no one result…

I create user whit this:
sudo useradd -c “example comment” -g ftp -m -k /dev/null -s /bin/false -d /var/www/html/(user-folder) user

After the creation of a user i run with root these 2 line:

chown (user):ftp /var/www/html/(folder)

chmod a-w /var/www/html/(folder)

What i failed???
