Files and Directories (Listing Options)
tilde_user_enable

If enabled, vsftpd will try and resolve pathnames such as ~chris/pics, i.e. a tilde followed by a username.

Note that vsftpd will always resolve the pathnames ~ and ~/something (in this case the ~ resolves to the initial login directory).

Note that ~user paths will only resolve if the file /etc/passwd may be found within the _current_ chroot() jail.
