I'm stuck. I've been working all day on trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and I've hit wall after wall.

What I'm trying to do: Setup FTP in such a way that certain users have access only to their directory, but higher level users have access to all directories.

What I've Googled so far: I started with this, but that didn't do what I needed it to. I then used this, but once I created one user, it wouldn't let me create another one. Finally, I decided to follow this, but it wouldn't let me even create one user.

I'm using Ubuntu 10. I can login to ftp as a root user and it takes me to the home directory. If I try to login using the user I created in the tutorial it says:

Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:   220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
Command:    USER mathew
Response:   331 Please specify the password.
Command:    PASS ****
Response:   530 Login incorrect.
Error:  Critical error
Error:  Could not connect to server
