Only thing I didn't like about VSFTPD, and actually the only reason I even suggested
something like PROFTPD is the concept of file ownership and permissions.  In PROFTPD, I can have
everything on my server owned by ONE normal user (non-root) and in the group ftp and set the file
permissions to 640 and directory permissions to 750 and it works great.  When I tried this with
VSFTPD, people could log onto the server as ftp but couldn't see any of the files.  Actually, if there is a way
to fix this in VSFTPD, I would use it.  So actually, I guess this is a request for help with
VSFTPD.  ;_)
