I am using Ubuntu server edition 14.04 and installed vsftpd. I have created a new user in0006 with home directory /var/www/localdev/in0006/ and I have set chroot_local_user=YES in vsftpd.conf file so that the user in0006 can access only to the particular folder /var/www/localdev/in0006/ through FTP.
I use WinSCP as FTP client. I logged in to WinSCP with the user in0006 and it I have the access only to the particular folder. The problem is I can't copy any file or create folder with the user in0006 through WinSCP.
user rights
/var/www/localdev rwxrwxrwx administrator administrator
/var/www/localdev/in0006 rwxrwxrwx in0006 administrator

Why are you using FTP if you can use WinSCP? Using SFTP or SCP will provide you with much better security. What happens if you use SSH and try to create/move the file? (Does that show any error messages?) – TOOGAM – 2016-05-26T14:16:59.663
It works fine with SSH and even it works when I use SFTP with winscp but I can access to all folders and files in sftp. Why it is not working with FTP? What i am missing with? – dharanbro – 2016-05-26T14:24:56.103
Recommendation 1: Trash FTP. Just use SFTP if you can. However, if you wish to pursue this anyway, find the program that is listening to TCP port 21 (presumably "ftpd"), and see what username is running that command. "ps -auxww | grep ftp" may help... or you might need to lose the hyphen and/or some of the letters that come right after it, depending on what version of ps your operating system is using. – TOOGAM – 2016-05-26T19:00:43.703
