I want to set up a user "ftp" so they can upload and download files in my /home/httpd/mysite/public_html directory.

All files in public_html are owned by user ftp and in group www-data so the ftp user looks like so:

uid=108(ftp) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),65534(nogroup)

When I try to connect via an FTP client I get

530 Login incorrect. ftp: Login failed.

What do I need to uncomment/add to the proftpd.conf file to make this work?
