It looks like the vsftpd.conf file has the incorrect permissions. Give the output of
ls -l /etc/vsftpd.conf

ls -l /etc/vsftpd.conf
-rw------- 1 110 114 825 Sep 9 01:25 /etc/vsftpd.conf`Preformatted text`
Root should be the owner of that file, run:
chown root: /etc/vsftpd.conf

thank you it is working. FTP is working 
now please tell me how to point ftp login to USB attached device? USB drive it is already mounted.
In your vsftpd.conf file you need
local_root=<path to usb device>

That way is probably the better way, it's scalable to more users. I'd say give it a go.

I was unable to mount or use ntfs formatted USB. I format it with fat32 and it is now working fine.
Openwrt doesn't support ntfs?
this might be build related 
I was getting errors when I mounted my regular ext4 partitions... so I commented out ( added a hash ) in '/etc/filesystems';
#ntfs-3g
try removing the hash...
or you could also try removing ntfs3g and installing 'antfs'... the general recommendation for openwrt is to use ext2/4... while many happily use ntfs... it does require an 'extra level' of awareness...

No samba stores it's passwords separately so if you are wanting to change the password you'll need to use the smbpasswd and the passwd commands.
