Vsftpd chown

how to set chown for uploads.

I have the following in my vsftpd.conf file and it's not working.

chown_uploads=YES
chown_username=root

any ideas?

What are the permissions you gave to the ftp users and the ftp group in relation to the ftp directory?

Verify that the permissions be:

chmod 750 /home/ftpdocs

and the ownership:
chown root.ftpgroup /home/ftpdocs

Here, ftdocs is a directory where all your ftp files will be uploaded and from where users will download files.

ftpgroup is the ftp group. make sure all ftp users belong to this group.

In essence, just check the permissions of the upload/download ftp directory.
In order for users to upload files, they need to have 750 permissions. If this does not work, then try 770. However, for more security, stick to 750 it this works for you.

Try this and let all of us know how it went.

I hope this helps.
