ftp permissions
I recently switched from "share" to "user" mode security and then enabled user level ftp access. I am unable to login via ftp and get the following error in proftpd.log: >> FTP session opened. ...
It looks like you are trying to log into the FTP service as user "ftp". Thus the ReadyNAS ftp service tries to access the home dir of that user which in Linux notation is written as "~ftp". Since there is no such user account on the ReadyNAS, to result of trying to find the user's home dir is empty (resolved to '') and thus no access is granted.
Most likely the ftp software you are using is choosing the user name for you so maybe you just need to tell it to use a different user name.
