Setting up the correct FTP user permissions

Question

To possibly fix an error, I was told to set the correct permissions to a user:

Make sure that ftp user of your repository has permissions for:

Can you help me to do each step please, how to set?

CentOS 6.4 (with proftpd / xinetd), user is already created named "test1234".

If you are using chroot that is set by default in proftpd then you probably don't need to do anything. Because user has all these privileges in home dir. — ALex_hha, Jul 20 '13 at 20:38
@ALex_hha : this was working already fine (by default), until the latest plesk upgrade to version 11.30, then there is a curl transfer permission error when trying to move a backup to the backup server and I was told to check out this list in the question. I thought already about to remove the user and add a new user, that should do the trick too, but since I was told to check out the list, I wanted to learn how to do this, setting each permission for a user. — , Jul 20 '13 at 20:49

Assumes that the user is chrooted into their home directory, you could try something like

<Directory ~user>
   <Limit DELE, MKD, RMD, ...>
     AllowUser user
   </Limit>
</Directory>

P.S. Also I will suggest to check permissions on the file system.

The main problem is a bug in Plesk with a / that causes the error, but your answer is the correct answer to my question. Thank you. – Jul 21 '13 at 21:15
