When setting up vsftpd I am trapped. When I leave the ftpuser's home directory without write permission I can login and all is fine despite the fact, that I cannot write (of course). When I add write permission I get something like

cannot change to directory with write permissions if user is chrooted

Then I added

allow_writeable_chroot=YES

to vsftpd.conf. But now I get

ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server

I am lost. What am I doing wrong?
