You have to login as root and read the conf file in etc/vsftpd.
You will see it is very easy once you read the info in this file.There are 2 more files in there: ftpusers and user_list. Reading the vsftpd.conf will make things clearer :wink:

yes, but I want to disable directory listing for
user=usernumberone
on folder /home/user/data/

and at the same time enable directory listing for this folder
for user=usernumbertwo
