vsftpd access to /srv/www/domain.com/somedir

On Ubuntu 16 I am trying to give FTP access to a particular server directory which has files owned by web:www-data to an FTP user. I have [changed the users home directory](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/94673/68860) : usermod --home /srv/www/example.com/current/ username Confirmed: grep username /etc/passwd username:x:1002:1001:User Company,,,:/srv/www/example.com/current/:/bin/bash When I switch users the home directory seems to be the same as the admin directory: sudo -su username echo $HOME /home/admin And when I connect via FTP ftp -p xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Name: username Password: password It takes me to /home/username/ftp
