A reasonable (though by no means 100% sure) assumption. Might be worth
checking your ruleset anyway.

# iptables -L

Also, check /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure. Check the user your
logging in as has access or that anonymous access is allowed. Check
the FTP home directory exists and then check through your vsftpd
configs for anything obviously out of place.

[wmcdonald at willspc ~]$ rpm -qc vsftpd
/etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log
/etc/pam.d/vsftpd
/etc/vsftpd.ftpusers
/etc/vsftpd.user_list
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
[wmcdonald at willspc ~]$

The vsftpd.ftpusers and vsftpd.user_list (and vsftpd.chroot_list which
isn't listed above) can be counterintuitive depending on what's
configured in the main vsftpd.conf file. Sometimes it's a list of
users to allow or chroot and othertime's its the opposite.

Will.
