ftponly1 doesn't have +x on his home directory.

but the problem is when this user try to connect via FTP tools to this server, he will get indentification error

thanks !

His home directory isn't owned by him, that's a little weird, it's actually not owned by anyone. Type

id ftponly1

at a command prompt.

[redhaeln]

this is the result:

xalot1#
xalot1# id ftponly1
uid=16007(ftponly1) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
xalot1#
xalot1#
xalot1# su - ftponly1
xalot1> pwd
/home/ftponly1
xalot1>
xalot1>
xalot1>

thanks !

by command line is working as you have seen, but when i tried with WinSCP i get the following message:

**********************************************

That looks just like an MOTD warning you not to do something stupid ont he system because you are being monitored. What happens when you try to copy a file, do you get an error?
