The vsftpd I admin chowns incoming files (for virtual users) to UID
'virtual', GID 'virtual'. Every 5 mins a script runs on the files to
chown them to 'ftpadmin', so this user can move or delete them.
The permissions are not changed.
$ tree -dug /srv/ftp/
/srv/ftp/
`-- [ftpadmin root ] virtual
|-- [ftpadmin virtual ] AAAA
| |-- [ftpadmin virtual ] From_Company
| `-- [ftpadmin virtual ] To_Company
$ getent passwd ftpadmin
ftpadmin:x:111:112:FTP admin account:/srv/ftp/virtual/:/bin/bash
$ getent group ftpadmin
ftpadmin:!:112:
