    The typical vsftpd configuration puts each user in a chroot jail so there is no possibility of one user accessing another user's files or folders.

    What I'd suggest is finding this line in vsftpd.conf:
    # Uncomment to put local users in a chroot() jail in their home directory
    # after login.
    #
    chroot_local_user=YES
    and canging the setting to NO. I haven't tried it, but it may do the job. You also might want to set
    local_umask=022
    (The default for vsftpd is 077, which will prevent the user from reading files created by another user)
