Create a user for FTP:

1. CentOS vsftpd uses Create User: "System| management| Users and Groups| User "," add user "such as ftp, password: ftpadmin, login shell: /sbin/nologin, the following three items" create home directory "," create private group for this user "," manually specify user ID", not enough options.

2, modify user attributes: double-click the user, the main directory input: /mnt/winc/ftproot, this directory is your ftp directory, group select ftp, OK, you can. Note: The default home directory is: /home/ftp, this place is recommended to modify the actual path of your ftp, for example, I changed it to "/mnt/winc/ftproot", because my ftp files are in this directory; log in sehll, select: /sbin/nologin, this user is not able to log in to the system, but can use ftp.

3. Modify the selinux parameter:

setsebool ftpd_disable_trans 1

service vsftpd restart

Note: If you do not modify, you will be prompted when connecting:

500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/mnt/winc/ftproot*******

500 OOPS: child died

This way CentOS vsftpd can be used normally... After the user is created, a line is added to the/etc/passwd file:
