FTP upload issue - vsftpd ubuntu14

Question

I have been struggling for hours to resolve this. Could someone please tell me what am I missing as it is driving me insane.

Filezilla error code:

  Response: 553 Could not create file

All the settings that are enabled in /etc/vsftpd.conf

  local_enable=YES
  write_enable=YES
  connect_from_port_20=YES
  chroot_local_user=YES

Folder Permissions added:

sudo chown -R bob:bob folder/

Restarted process:

service vsftpd restart

I have also disabled the firewall, so its not a firewall issue. I have installed getenforce, how do I give you guys the output you need?

Sorry, I have installed in now. How do I give you the output you need ? — Narayana, Sep 10 '14 at 13:22

I have finally solved my own question.

I created the user bob and made his home directory the FTP directory. The home directroy then didnt have write permissions which I enabled.

Then I discovered vsftpd does not allow you to write to your home directory via ftp.

Here is the solution to enable vsftpd to write to your home directory via ftp.
