In reply to Zoran. you should run setenforce 0 command then check. if working then you should allow ftp from firewall or permanent dibale selinux firewall. hope this will help

In reply to Jake. Hi Jake, While creating ftpuser set its home directory as '/var/www/html/example.com'.

Hey Pradeep

Thanks for the guide, very handy.

Q: I already have my site setup at /var/www/html/example.com

How do I setup the FTP to point to this path? Can’t figure it out.

In reply to Zoran.

Hey Zoran, In the configuration file /etc/vsftpd.conf, ensure you add this line and restart the vsftpd service.

pam_service_name=ftp

Let me know if this works for you.
