vhost FTP user no permissions

As per outlined info at Pure-FTPD Virtual FTP Users - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS pure-ftpd virtual ftp user is locked to vhost directory at /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/ and no higher so you upload webroot files for your scripts to /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/public

Getting started guide step 2 also outlines this

If you need access to /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/* you will need root user access. No sane and secure system will ever give normal ftp user access to root/server level files at nginx configuration level

 

it should i've tested and use it without issues

if you enable ftp client verbose or logging you will see what errors you get

 

use pure-pw command to verify
