If you "don't have lsb_release & apt-cache command", which operating system is this, and why are you asking your question here? This is support only for Ubuntu.

for example i have a root folder /sample , i want to access this folder via ftp by configuring userid and password.

Maybe one of these helps:

https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd/FAQ.txt
or
bottom of https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd.html :

Contact
NEW! There's a #vsftpd IRC channel at irc.freenode.net. People there may be able to answer questions.
I'm buried alive in vsftpd mail :-( You could try mailing me: Chris Evans, <email address hidden> (try and read the FAQ first)! Please don't be disappointed if your vsftpd mail does not get answered; I can only answer a small percentage.

Can you help with this problem?
