Permission denied to users

[MeowtronStar]

Using FileZilla server on MacOS Ventura. If I add an user and use that username, the client says "Permission denied". However, logging in as a system user through system credentials work. Disabling password does not help either. What am I doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure the :h for the native path will only work for the system user. For the dedicated user, enter the full physical path to the Home.

Indeed, ":h" doesn't work for non-system users, as they have no "home directory". Instead, if non-system users have to have a common pattern in their home directory path, a idiomatic approach is to creare a group for them and have, in that group, the virtual path "/" associated to a native path that contains the ":u" placeholder, which translates to the username itself.

For instance: "/" -> "/Users/Shared/Ftp/:u"

If you do that, make sure to click on the "create native directory if it does not exist" checkmark, so that you don't manually have to create all of those users directories.
