First of all ...u cant ftp using root account....it is disabled by default ...although u can enable it but it is not recommended....

all the users in ur system can use ftp with thier username and password for linux system....
but the error shows that ftp server is configured for anonymous login....for user authentication got to vsftpd.conf file and change "anonymous_enable = NO"..

If i put
"anonymous_enable = NO"..

i even unable to login my problem is i want to create user even if i open web interface it prompts for username and password

Ok

after doing the changes in the conf file did u restart the vsftp server.

Also see vsftpd.users file ... what are its contents.
