Hello Alamgir,

There are lots of solutions over the internet for your problem. But there are some things that you need to check first.

1. User and group permission for the account match, then make sure that readable and executable to the home directory for that account is defined.

Below are the actions that you need to do to solve this issue.

[root@bongets vsftpd] # getenforce

[root@bongets vsftpd] # getsebool -a | grep FTP

allow_ftpd_anon_write –> off
allow_ftpd_full_access –> off
allow_ftpd_use_cifs –> off
allow_ftpd_use_nfs –> off
allow_tftp_anon_write –> off
ftp_home_dir –> on (change that to on in your case this option is off)
ftpd_disable_trans –> off
ftpd_is_daemon –> on
httpd_enable_ftp_server –> off
tftpd_disable_trans –> off
[root@bongets vsftpd] # setseboll -P ftp_home_dir on

This is all that you need to do.

Thanks.
