Its fixed now, it seems to be it was a easy fix and I was kind of waisting your time, but thanks for the answers. I did google it and couldn't get a good answer.

Currently this server is setup for back-up the our other 3 servers and people can get FTP for backing-up there site. I prefer FTP because people *know* FTP, when I give them something different to use there is a change they are scared and will not use it.

protocl and passes passwords, and data, in the clear.
Second, if you *MUST* use FTP, do not use it with normal usernames and
passwords.
Third, if you *MUST* use FTP, use FTPS which SSL tunnels the connections.
Fourth, read the manual page on the "vsftpd" server. In particulare,
review this:
chroot_list_enable
If activated, you may provide a list of local users who are
placed in a chroot() jail in their home directory upon login. The
meaning is slightly different if chroot_local_user is set to YES. In
this case, the list becomes a list of users which are NOT to be placed
in a chroot() jail. By default, the file containing this list is
/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list, but you may override this with the
chroot_list_file setting.
Default: NO
