Welcome to LQ. Working with Vsftpd isn't hard, you just have to know what to do. So please read and try to understand the examples supplied with Vsftpd, especially the "virtual users" ones. Modify your configs accordingly, test, then post (including steps, configs, errors) if it doesn't work.

Thanks for posting the solution. You can deny access in different ways, depending on your needs and configuration, for example chroot (directory to deny access to should not be a subdirectory of the chroot) or deny_file + hide_file (weak) or changing access rights to where the user Vsftpd is running as can not access the directory.
