Thank. Please note that

“To jail users to theirs respective home directories, add following to config file:
DefaulRoot ~
”
must be :
DefaultRoot ~

As always, proftpd -t6 will help checking syntax.. ;)

Put in /etc/proftpd.conf the following directives:
# Define log file and log level
SystemLog /var/log/proftpd/ftpd.log
DebugLevel 6
If not exists /var/log/proftpd/ftpd.log then you must create it then tail -f /var/log/proftpd/ftpd.log

You virtual user must have UNIX write permission. so you can reach this with following commands: (as root). I suppose you virtual user gid is 5000
# chown -Rc :5000 /var/ftp/virt-user-home && chmod -c g+w /var/ftp/virt-user-home
