This is my firs question and I really did research through internet and here in stackoverflow. But nothing worked out.

I have set up an FTP server in an AWS-EC2 instance following the current guide answered on this question:
Setting up FTP on Amazon Cloud Server

It worked out except that the scenario i need is quite different that for using folder as web folder:
What I want is to have one specific ftp-user to access just one folder in the web server to download some videos that are recorded by users with PHP and JavaScript. The videos are correctly generated and ownership is apache:apache

Video folder is: /var/www/html/XXXXX/uploads and has 775 permisions

I have an .htaccess file to prevent web access to folder and directory listing:

sudo cat .htaccess 
# secure .htaccess file
<Files .htaccess>
 Order allow,deny
 Deny from all
</Files>
# disable directory browsing
Options All -Indexes
# prevent folder listing
IndexIgnore *

I added the user "video" to the apache group as explained in the guide (usermod -a -G apache video)

This is my VSFTPD conf file:

sudo cat /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf 
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog
chroot_local_user=YES
listen=NO
listen_ipv6=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_min_port=1024
pasv_max_port=1048
pasv_address=XX.XXX.XXX.XXX
local_root=/var/www/html/XxXxXxXxX/uploads
allow_writeable_chroot=YES
download_enable=YES

My ftp client connects correctly to the server and shows the contents of the folder but is unable to download any. The ftp-client answers "Connection refused". But even i try to find anything on /var/log/xferlog nothing is there. Nothing logged, file is empty.

I even tried to create a file with the user in ssh console by "sudo su video" and "touch test.file" the file is generated but also unable to download.

Researched here, over internet, forums, everywhere... can't find any solution.

Thanks in advance for your help.
