Cannot setup a new user for vsftpd FTP server. My http server's root directory is in /var/www/someuser Main user has it's home directory in /home/mainuser When I login with this user, it's Okay, but I need to get access to /var/www/someuser I did the following:

useradd -d /var/www/someuser -p *** someuser addgroup ftpusers usermod -aG ftpusers someuser chown mainuser:ftpusers /var/www/someuser chmod 0775 /var/www/someuser

But when I'm trying to login with vsftpd, it tells that login is incorrect. What I'm doing wrong?

vsftpd.conf:

listen=YES anonymous_enable=NO write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES use_localtime=YES xferlog_enable=YES ftpd_banner=some text secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty pam_service_name=vsftpd check_shell=NO rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd_user_list (empty file) userlist_enable=YES

Actually I resolved this problem. Spent some hours resolving problem. The solution was simple: change password of a user with 

passwd someuser

The -p parameter of useradd doesn't work as I can see, although it says that it sets encrypted password of a new account.
