I've done some Google searches on how to configure vsftpd to work for me, but I just can't find the right answer.

I'm running a server to test web files, and I want to be able to access via FTP. I'm using Fedora 8.

I installed vsftpd, but I am not sure if I should be using my local username to login, or virtual users. I can't figure out how to setup virtual users.

I want users to be able to edit files in /var/www/html/

If I used local users, I would just create a symbolic link to that directory right?
 
If you use local users you can add the local_root change in the vsftpd.conf file

Just tag on the bottom local_root=/var/www/html

I would also suggest using the user_list function to say who can connect to the server. This should get it working for you though. You will also need to restart the vsftpd service after you modify this file.

Here is the page that I used when configuring vsftpd
