Thank you for this awesome guide! It was really straightforward and helped me achive my goal, although i am complete beginer when it comes to linux.

From the commands given i only encountered a problem (permission denied) with these : 

sudo echo "/bin/ftponly" >> /etc/shells

echo "bob" >> /etc/vsftpd.userlist

With a bit of googling i changed them like so:

echo "/bin/ftponly" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells

echo "bob" | sudo tee -a /etc/vsftpd.userlist

Not sure if what i changed made a difference or it would work anyway. But the ftp server works as expected.

Cheers.
