Virtual users

Virtual users is a simple mechanism to store a list of users, with their password, name, uid, directory, etc. strictly for use by the FTP server.

Create a separate "ftpgroup" group and an "ftpuser" user:

groupadd ftpgroup
useradd -g ftpgroup -d /dev/null -s /etc ftpuser

Commiting changes
Any changes you make to the virtual users won't be recognized by Pure-FTPd until you commit the changes in /etc/pureftpd.passwd into a PureDB file/etc/pureftpd.pdb:

pure-pw mkdb

There's no need to restart the pure-ftpd server to commit changes.
