How to get vsftpd working

[Paolo Galtieri]

I've been trying to get vsftpd working but have had no luck so far.  This is
my config:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
xferlog_std_format=YES
ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome to Darkstar FTP service.
listen=YES

pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
pasv_max_port=1024
no_anon_password=YES

I am able to connect from my client system to the server.  I login as user
pgaltieri, am prompted for password, and when I enter it I am logged in.
However, once this happens I can't do anything.  If I try to put a file I
get:

ftp> put SPAM
local: SPAM remote: SPAM
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,0,70,31,17).
553 Could not create file.

If I try to list the directory:

ftp> dir
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,0,70,211,221).
150 Here comes the directory listing.
226 Transfer done (but failed to open directory).
ftp>

The directory ownership on the server is:

[pgaltieri at darkstar ~]$ /bin/ls -ld /home/pgaltieri
drwxr-xr-x. 38 pgaltieri pgaltieri 4096 2009-07-16 10:40 /home/pgaltieri

I changed this from the default 700 wondering if this might be the cause but
it made no difference.

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I don't remember it being this hard
to set up.

I'm also logged in as the same user on the client system.  The directory
permissions on the client are 700

[pgaltieri at peglaptop10 ~]$ /bin/ls -ld ~pgaltieri
drwx------. 62 pgaltieri pgaltieri 4096 2009-07-16 11:34 /home/pgaltieri

I tried it with 755 but it still fails.

I would appreciate any help from someone who can tell me what I'm missing.
It seems to be a permissions issue on the server, but I don't know what it
could be.  I'm not getting any selinux alerts.

Thanks
Paolo
