need vsftp configuration help

[tlgates]

I've installed vsftp and am trying to configure it to allow anonymous access. I want to be able to ftp to my server through a browser (I currently can ftp using an 3rd party ftp client) so that anyone can access a specific "public" ftp area to place files and download files from. I also want to set up a different directory (username/password protected) to allow users to put & get files from that location as well and restrict them from going anywhere else except to their home directory.

I am currently getting the following error when I try to ftp as anonymous to my server with the URL of ftp://domain.com:
Error: "550 Failed to Change Directory"

I can access the server with a local user using the username/password and it directs me to the home directory for that user but it allows me to change directories to access the entire server. I don't want that. I would like the local users that login to all go to one specific directory but then be able to cd to their home directory.


Here is my vsftpd.conf file:

anonymous_enable=YES
use_localtime=YES
local_umask=022
anon_upload_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
anon_root=/ftp/pub
no_anon_password=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_std_format=YES
ascii_upload_enable=YES
download_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome to Summit Financial Group FTP service.
banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
ls_recurse_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
#enable for standalone mode
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES


Your help is greatly appreciate.
Thanks.

Just wanted to add:
I have chmod 740 ftp (drwxr-----) with root:users as owner.
I have chmod 744 pub (drwxr--r--) with root:users as owner.

I'm not sure if these are correct to have anonymous be able to access it...obviously not because I getting the error stated above.

What should they be?
Thanks again.

Why the colon ":" character at the end of your example URL?

The colon isn't part of the URL.

I have my server set up so that I can access it as anonymous. I did a chmod 755 ftp and chmod 755 pub. So that's working.

Now I still need to be able to make it so that the local users ftp in with their username/password and be directed to a certain directory (same directory for everyone) but also have them be able to cd ONLY to their home directory and nowhere else.

How do I do that?
Thanks.
