pam_service_name is what you need to check - pam is an (usually) optional authorization control mechanism. And it clearly supports user change and is blocked as a possible security issue.
You did not specify your OS, but RH used to have /etc/pam.d/vsftpd that you can modify. I do not know if that is still correct or not - probably not. Just be sure to keep a backup.
Thank you for response.
I've tried vsftpd on both RHEL 6.5 and RHEL 5.7, they all had the same issue. I did check pam_service_name, but I had no clue how to fine tune it. Would you please give me some suggestions?
Forgot to mention that the vsftpd version is,
vsftpd-2.0.5-21.el5 for RHEL 5
vsftpd-2.2.2-11.el6_4.1.x86_64 for RHEL 6

Hello,
When my fellow employees loggin to the FTP server they have no problems if they use FTP clients.
When they try and access the FTP site using their browsers using ftp://<domain> name all they get is a pub directory which is empty. They are not even prompted for loggin.

I have recently installed vsftpd in my Centos server. I have set the local_umask=0037.

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/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then
launch the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.
Systemd changes the vsftpd daemon start-up. The vsftpd package contains vsftpd-generator script generating symbolic links to /var/run/sys-
temd/generator/vsftpd.target.wants directory. The generator is called during e.g. 'systemctl --system daemon-reload'. All these symbolic
links link /usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd@.service file. The vsftpd daemon(s) is/are controlled by one of following ways:
1. Single daemon using default /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf configuration file
# systemctl {start,stop,...} vsftpd[.service]
2. Single daemon using /etc/vsftpd/<conf-name>.conf
# systemctl {start,stop,...} vsftpd@<conf-name>[.service]
3. All instances together
# systemctl {restart,stop} vsftpd.target
See systemd.unit(5), systemd.target(5) for further details.
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/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/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/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/vsftpd.conf
/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd@.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.target
