I've had difficulty setting up vsftpd on my apache2 server. I was getting this error:

GnuTLS error -15: An unexpected TLS packet was received.

Tried a number of things including updating gnutsl, permissions, different ftp clients, etc.

I eventually got it working by adding this to vsftpd.conf:

allow_writeable_chroot=YES

Not really sure what the implications of that. So my question is this: does that open any security issues I should worry about? Thanks.

It allows for your dot files to be editable, which is often a control mechanism.

mainly .htaccess
