Set up ftp on /var/www???

[psyllex]

Hello people! I setup the ftp server from the repository using vsftpd.

I did:

chown -R <username> /var/www

additionally:

usermod -d /var/www ftp

But I still can't ftp into www which is useless for trying to do any kind of programming on my web server. Does anyone know how I can get permissions on /var/www?

Oh damn...nevermind....lol. I didn't actually do a chown -R on /var/www/ just /var/www....

Man you guys are awesome you helped me out without even responding to my thread!
