The first thing you should install the ftp software. In rhel 6.0, you should start the service vsftp using the command :
#service vsftpd restart or other methods.
Here I want to say a problem appeared. That is 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/xxx. When you enter your username and password, it occurred. The username is your login name like Jams.
So what can we solve the problem? The easiest method is create a new user but the home directory must not be /home/xxx, the question is selinux. You can create a user like this:
# useradd -d /ftphome/ftp/ftproot -s /sbin/nologin username.
Then you should change the password for username :
#passwd username
Okay, you can login the ftp server like this:
ftp 192.168.x.x
input the username, then enter the password. Ok, enjoy it.
But how to create a directory in /home/xxx?
I browsed many websites there is one method but I failed!
You can try it one more time:
#service vsftpd restart or other methods.

You can try it one more time:
setsebool -P ftpd_disable_trans 1
service vsftpd restart
I tried other methods to make it work, the popular way is disable the Selinux.
If it still can't solved problem. You can try this:
[root@linux115 vsftpd]# setsebool allow_ftpd_full_access 1
[root@linux115 vsftpd]# setsebool allow_ftpd_use_cifs 1
[root@linux115 vsftpd]# setsebool allow_ftpd_use_nfs 1
[root@linux115 vsftpd]# setsebool -P ftp_home_dir 1
[root@linux115 vsftpd]# setsebool httpd_enable_ftp_server 1
[root@linux115 vsftpd]# setsebool tftp_anon_write 1
[root@linux115 vsftpd]# service vsftpd restart
