I run vsftpd: version 3.0.2 on Debian 8.
I have a folder /home/vsftpd/$USER which is mounted on an NFS.
$USER is replaced by the user name connected on the FTP.
Those users are authenticated against MySQL using pam-mysql.
All the users can connect to the FTP BUT none of them are able to see their files and folders.
I've tried 777 on their $USER folder and sub-folders but nothing.
I managed to have a file displayed but I don't know how/why. But I was unable to download the file:
Status: Starting download of /a
Command: CWD /
Response: 250 Directory successfully changed.
Command: TYPE A
Response: 200 Switching to ASCII mode.
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (**.**.**.**,24,163).
Command: RETR a
Response: 550 Failed to open file.
Error: Critical file transfer error
I have two issues: users connected to the FTP cannot see their files and folders and I'm unable to dowload a file.
Here is the vsftpd.conf

EDIT
I've added local_umask=022 (don't know if it is useful or not)
