Hello friends

I installed vsftpd and vsftpd.conf is the following:

background=YES
listen=YES
#liste_address=192.168.1.1
anonymous_enable=YES
anon_root=/srv/ftp_franz
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES

check_shell=NO
#dirmessage_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome to anon's FTP service.

User franz owns /srv/ftp_franz/STORAGE

When I connect with plain FTP with filezilla, it connects, but I cannot go to folder STORAGE, error is:

550 Failed to change directory.
Error:	Failed to retrieve directory listing

It seems a problem of permissions, but I have no idea how to solve it

That does

ls -ld /srv
ls -ld /srv/ftp_franz
ls -ld /srv/ftp_franz/STORAGE

say ?
