1. the directory you are ftp-ing into does not allow the process to write files, example you have the nobody account as the ftp user.
2. the files are not going where you think they are going - try using the find command
3. the ftp code you wrote has an error -example: one of the env variables is null.
4. You log on as anonymous, and the files went some really strange place.
There are loads more possibilities. You have to work backwards to fix the problem:
Start by using find to locate one of the files. You need a defiinite name so you don't have to look at partial matches. Assume one of the file names is "download.txt"

vsftpd
VSFTPD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VSFTPD(8)NAME
vsftpd -- Very Secure FTP Daemon
SYNOPSIS
vsftpd [configuration file and / or options]
DESCRIPTION
vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched via a ``super-server'' such as inetd(8) or xinetd(8).
Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier
to use, and recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES in /etc/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then launch
the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.
OPTIONS
An optional configuration file or files may be given on the command line. These files must be owned as root if running as root. Any command
line option not starting with a "-" character is treated as a config file that will be loaded. Note that config files are loaded in the
strict order that they are encountered on the command line. If no config files are specified, the default configuration file of
/etc/vsftpd.conf will be loaded, after all other command line options are processed.
Supported options are:
-v Print the version information and exit, even if other options are encountered.
-ooption=value
Set a single option, value pair as per the format in the config file. Multiple -o options are supported, and they are applied in
strict order relative to their appearance on the command line, including intermingling with loading of config files.
EXAMPLES
vsftpd -olisten=NO /etc/vsftpd.conf -oftpd_banner=blah
That example overrides vsftpd's built-in default for the "listen" option to be NO, but then loads /etc/vsftpd.conf which may override that
setting. Finally, the "ftpd_banner" setting is set to "blah", which overrides any default vsftpd setting and any identical setting that was
in the config file.
FILES
/etc/vsftpd.conf
