You should use virtual users and be careful with logins match between them

[vsftpd.conf]/etc/vsftpd.conf

listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
write_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd #look here
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=ftp #carefull
user_sub_token=$USER
local_root=/var/ftpserver/ #careful
chroot_local_user=YES
hide_ids=YES
syslog_enable=YES
file_open_mode=0666
local_umask=0022

[vsftpd]/etc/pam.d/vsftpd
auth    required pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/vsftpd.passwd # htpasswd file
account required pam_permit.so

and create htpasswd -c /etc/vsftpd.passwd username
