Super-user do. It should work on any UNIX based filesystem. And if you're goin to downvote everybody's answer for your own fault by installing a limited operating system, then you're not going to get any help at all. You should be appreciating my contribution to help you. My suggestion is o install Ubuntu and go from there.

I do appreciate what you tried to do but i did state "CentOS" in my question.

So giving a answer that just would not work... Well its not much help is it.

I down-voted it anyway. Grow up applehack23.

"your own fault by installing a limited operating system"

CentOS is one of the most developed lunix based systems...

Every thing from Cpanel to Direct admin is based on CentOS...

Create a FTP user group. eg: ftpaccounts

/usr/sbin/groupadd ftpaccounts

Add a new user to this group, and set the default path of that user to /home/user/.

/usr/sbin/adduser -g ftpaccounts -d /home/user/ testuser

Set a password for the newley created user.

passwd testuser

Set ownership of /home/user to the testuser and ftpaccounts.

chown testuser:ftpaccounts /home/user

Give Read/Write access to testuser and all members in ftpaccounts

chmod 775 /home/user

Edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file and make sure 'local_enable=YES' is uncommented.

Restart the vsftpd service.

/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

. . . . Seams to work..... Something wrong with VSFTPD though ;P
