If you are connecting ftp with the user root on vsftpd, you may get this error.In ftp root is to disable for a security reason.

ERROR:

vsftpd: pam_listfile(vsftpd:auth): Refused user root for service vsftpd

Solution:

vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

userlist_deny=YES

change to

userlist_deny=NO

In my case it was also necessary remove root the /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers file.
