I'm running CentOS 6.7 and I'm trying to successfully establish an FTP connection using vsftpd.
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response: 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
Command: AUTH TLS
Response: 234 Proceed with negotiation.
Status: Initializing TLS...
Status: Verifying certificate...
Status: TLS connection established.
Command: USER testuser
Response: 530 Permission denied.
Error: Could not connect to server
I tried checking /var/logs/messages and /var/logs/xferlog but the log is empty. I also checked the home directory permissions of the local user and made sure that the user was listed in the userlist and not in the denylist
config:
local_enable=YES
pasv_address=108.41.178.133
pasv_min_port=40000
pasv_max_port=40010
pasv_promiscuous=YES

ssl_enable=YES

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Some options to check:
Is it possible that the username you're specifying is in the /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers list and disallowed from logging in? (usually when a login is rejected before the pasword prompt, that's a sign it's a disallowed user account)
Also, check to see if the user you're logging in with has permissions to access the default home directory on file in vipw
