Try removing VSFTPD with,
sudo apt-get --purge remove vsftpd
Then reinstall it with,
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
Then configure it again at /etc/vsftpd.conf
Now, when you login to your FTP client login with your account you created at first(Ubuntu Installation Account)
When I installed VSFTPD I never changed any file permissions for VSTPD.
