Description
/var/ftp isn't a directory specified by FHS. This should be moved somewhere else, like /var/lib/ftp or /var/cache/ftp.

I don't know, it's empty.
I see it's mentioned in the configuration file though.
secure_chroot_dir=/var/ftp/empty

OK. How about using /var/tmp/ftp? That contains temporary but persistent files. My second choice is /var/cache/ftp.

/var/tmp and /tmp are for temporary files/directories. And this isn't a temporary file/directory.

The default directory is /usr/share/empty.
"This option should be the name of a directory which is empty. Also, the directory should not be writable by the ftp user. This directory is used as a secure chroot() jail at times vsftpd does not require filesystem access."
How about using /usr/share/vsftpd/empty With permissions 755 root:root?
I haven't noticed this before. What's the nature of the data in /var/ftp?
