Thanks for the article as well!
I’d personally like to know how to add custom users (and passwords) with chosen permissions, home directory etc.

Yes that is exactly what I was going to add. Adding users, the difference between virtual ftp users and actual users. How to assign their directories. How to make things visible or not to them…

It must be updated.

in Local users FTP access:
ftp: command not found

The command:

$ sudo apt install ftp

should do the trick.
