check the root folders having execute permission ,

Ex: test is the user and home dir is /usr/local/demo/ftp/test

Check whether demo,ftp having execute permissions.

I had this error also and the problem was just that there was a rogue return character after I had edited the FTP banner setting - check also for things like tabs or empty lines.

Jenny - Log into your server via ssh, become root (su -), and then run 'setenforce 0'.

here is another fix for the ftp issue with home directories, in case you cant turn selinux off:

setsebool -P ftp_home_dir 1
service vsftpd restart
