500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/username

ftp error : 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/username

Solution I : 
Disable SELinux. To see, how to disable it, Click here.

Solution II :
If you do not want to disable SELinux. Follow this.
Check directory status.

$ getsebool -a | grep ftp

If ftp_home_dir is set to off, the error can be there, we need to make this attribute on using

$ setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on

Now restart vsftpd and try to reconnect again.
or

$ setsebool -P ftp_home_dir=1

Now restart vsftpd and try to reconnect again.

If you are still facing error, check the username directory inside /home directory.
The username directory should be there to log in to the ftp account.

Solution  II :
If you do not want to disable SELinux. Follow this.
Run following commands.

# chcon -Rv --type user_home_dir_t /path/of/ftp/directory

OR

# chcon -t public_content_rw_t /path/of/ftp/directory
# setsebool -P allow_ftpd_anon_write=1

Solution  III :
If you are getting this error on ubuntu then the SELinux solution might not work for you because it is not installed by default on ubuntu.

Open vsftpd.conf and uncomment following line.

# write_enable=YES

Restart vsftpd.

Now try to connect but if you get following error

# 500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot()

Add this attribute in vsftpd.conf

# allow_writeable_chroot=YES

Restart vsftpd.

Now you should be able to create and remove directory/files using filezilla.
