Jeff,
If I understand your problem correctly, you presently
have users ftping to their /home/username directory, but
you want to change their ftp login to /filesystem.
The way I get my users to login to /filesystem are the
following:
1. Add the username dir. to /filesystem and modify the /etc/passwd file to
reflect the change. Copy the "." files (dot) files from
/home/username to /filesystem/username.
1A. Go to steps 5 thru 10.
OR
2. I also create a group named ftponly, and give it a group number of 5000.
3. All of my ftp username start at UID 1000.
4. I use "useradd -d /filesystem/username -u 1000 -g 5000 -s /bin/bash username".
5. vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
chroot_list_enable=YES ##Uncomment this line.
6. Add the username to the /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list file.
7. chmod 600 /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
8. chown root:root /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
9. chmod 777 /filesystem
10. chmod 700 /filesystem/username
I use a script that automates all of the above, plus allots each user
a quota from 100MB to 10GB.

YES.
That can be configured like so:
In this example the account, johndoe, requires that the user can only
download files. The upload and modification files, creation of directories,
and the deletion of directories are not allowed.
1. vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
#This powerful option allows the override of any config option
#specified in the manual page, on a per-user basis.
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf #Uncomment this line.
2. mkdir /etc/vsftpd_user_conf
3. vi /etc/vsftpd_user_conf/johndoe <--The account name is johndoe
write_enable=NO
ascii_download_enable=YES
ascii_upload_enable=NO
ls_recurse_enable=NO
pasv_enable=NO
4. Re-start the xinetd process.
A. service restart xinetd
I hope this helps,

Where do I set this, I cant see any references in the vsftpd.conf. Is
there a per-user config file?
Thanks again
