This file should be saved in the /etc/vsftpd_user_conf directory. The file should be named the same as the unix username you created - in our example, ftpuser1. The lowercase commands are shell commands; the ALLCAPS commands are ftp commands. This sample config file allows this user to create directories/upload directory trees (mkdir, MKD) and to remove them (rm, rmdir, DELE, RMD). You may wish to restrict certain users' ability to remove files and directories.
