With the default vsftpd config file (/etc/vsftpd.conf) that comes with the
Debian stable vsftpd package, you need to add the user "ftp" and then make
sure the new user "ftp" does NOT have access to its own home directory.
The following commands will do the trick:
[root@localhost root]# mkdir /var/ftp/
[root@localhost root]# useradd -d /var/ftp ftp
(the next two are useful to run even if the user "ftp" already exists).
[root@localhost root]# chown root.root /var/ftp
[root@localhost root]# chmod og-w /var/ftp
Note: The above information is from the file INSTALL file at:
ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans/untar/vsftpd-1.1.3/
