I am trying to get Vsftpd to specify the home dir at login. I want users to log into /home/%%%/upload instead of /home/%%% then have to click on upload. Also, I would to have all files uploaded my any user to be owned by the webserver in my case www-data the apache user. I know I can change the ownership of uploaded anonymous files by changing the vsftpd.conf but am unsuccessful trying to do this for specific users!
to change the upload directory to /home/$USER/upload.
Regarding the changing of uploaded files to another user, this cannot be done for non anoymous ftp. What you can do is to run a script through cron to do this job.
