Well, what are the values for your local_umask and file_open options? When a user logs into the vsftpd server and makes that new directory successfully, does the configuration settings you placed for vsftpd get set for that new directory?

If you could also go through the steps a person does using your vsftpd and the end result of the uploaded file/directory in this post, that might help in the problem. Also, does vsftpd have any logs in /var/logs/ that you can share?

Thanks.

Well, my standard suggestion in this would be to consider using SFTP instead of FTP. It's a lot more secure and far easier to configure. Most basic activities can be done without any modification to the configuration file at all. SFTP is part of the package OpenSSH-server.

That won't solve the FTP problem per se, but it would solve the problem of allowing secure uploads.
