    When created new host, new ftp user for that domain is created too, and have access to /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/ and below.

    How to create another user which have access to /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/ and below like default one?

    Regarding folders that root user created inside domain.com folder, how to give write permission to this two users?

    as per pure-pw commands outlined at Beta Branch - Centmin Mod .08 beta + pure-ftpd virtual FTP user support | Centmin Mod Community for setting up existing nginx vhosts with pure-ftpd virtual ftp users

    create your FTP username via command below which will lock and jail the YOURFTPUSERNAME to directory path specified by -d /home/nginx/domains/YOURDOMAINVHOST. So you can also lock specific virtual FTP users to other directory paths to if you want.
    Code (Text):
    pure-pw useradd YOURFTPUSERNAME -u nginx -g nginx -d /home/nginx/domains/YOURDOMAINVHOST
service pure-ftpd restart



    as per getting started guide step 2 Getting Started Guide - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

    Whenever you completed uploading new files, you'd need to give them correct user and group permissions within SSH window as root user type:
    Code (Text):
    chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public

    You do not need to do this will files created via PHP-FPM or Nginx, i.e. if you use Wordpress and used Wordpress admin to add a new Wordpress plugin, the plugin will automatically have nginx user and group permissions as it was processed by PHP-FPM.

    To verify the files and directories are with nginx user and group permissions, use command
    Code (Text):
    ls -lah directorypath

    i.e.
    Code (Text):
    ls -lah /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public

    why /bin/ @RoldanLT?

    Is this one bellow wrong?
    Code:
    */5 * * * * chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public
    And this one bellow will be OK to add to crontab -e?

    Code:
    */5 * * * * /bin/chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public

    So it will be something like this (user: tester):
    Code (Text):
    pure-pw useradd tester -u nginx -g nginx -d /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public
service pure-ftpd restart

    What about: pure-pw mkdb

    What about password?
    Code:
    pure-pw passwd FTPUSERNAME
pure-pw mkdb

    It is not really wrong but it is better to use full path to avoid issues.

    Correct
    You use
    Code:
    pure-pw passwd FTPUSERNAME
    to set the password for FTPUSERNAME and after that you run
    Code:
    pure-pw mkdb
    to write the changes to the correct DB.

    either one with or without /bin but full path to the chown command is safer to ensure it runs (full path of any command can be found via which cmd so for chown, which chown)

    sorry technically you can do just
    Code (Text):
    pure-pw useradd tester -u nginx -g nginx -d /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public
pure-pw mkdb

    according to https://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/doc/README.Virtual-Users
    That's for changing password, the useradd command should prompt for you to add a password

    Which one of this two:

    Code:
    */5 * * * * /bin/chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public
    or

    Code:
    */5 * * * * /usr/bin/chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public

    whichever one which command returns

    centos 6.7 returns /bin/chown while centos 7.x returns /usr/bin/chown
