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.

Hi,
I am using VSFTPD.

I am new to linux.
I have recently installed vsftpd in my Centos server. I have set the local_umask=0037.
But now i can't understand how the window users added in a centos server can see each-other folder.

pam_loginuid
PAM_LOGINUID(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_LOGINUID(8)NAME
pam_loginuid - Record user's login uid to the process attribute
SYNOPSIS
pam_loginuid.so [require_auditd]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_loginuid module sets the loginuid process attribute for the process that was authenticated. This is necessary for applications to
be correctly audited. This PAM module should only be used for entry point applications like: login, sshd, gdm, vsftpd, crond and atd. There
are probably other entry point applications besides these. You should not use it for applications like sudo or su as that defeats the
purpose by changing the loginuid to the account they just switched to.
OPTIONS
require_auditd
This option, when given, will cause this module to query the audit daemon status and deny logins if it is not running.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_SESSION_ERR
An error occurred during session management.
EXAMPLES
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_unix.so
auth required pam_nologin.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_loginuid.so
