Adding new user for ftp account by editing /etc/passwd, in my case i added user openwrt, copy paste configuration from user ftp, but change user ID number and group name.

# vi /etc/passwd-


root:$1$nvFplbd8$l05HR0mdTHcGprNaMg8QA1:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ash
daemon:*:1:1:daemon:/var:/bin/false
ftp:*:55:55:ftp:/home/ftp:/bin/false
network:*:101:101:network:/var:/bin/false
nobody:*:65534:65534:nobody:/var:/bin/false
openwrt:*:65538:55:openwrt:/home:/bin/false

Adding password for user openwrt

# passwd openwrt

Change Otority

chmod o-rwx /etc/passwd
chmod o-rwx /etc/passwd-
chmod 777 /home

Enabling proftpd service upon start

# /etc/init.d/proftpd enable

To start proftpd service

# /etc/init.d/proftpd start

To stop proftpd service

# /etc/init.d/proftpd stop

Now start proftpd for debug and access it using ftp client and see if any errors

# proftpd -n -d 10

If everything ok, you should see something similar with this picture when accessing proftpd server
