FTP users are unable to create, modify or upload any files into that directories. The following error is shown:
CONFIG_TEXT: Permission denied

This is the default ProFTPd configuration and more information can be found in ProFTPd release notes:
- http://proftpd.org/docs/RELEASE_NOTES-1.3.5a (1.3.5 section)

Resolution
Use another directory name and/or use another folder path to upload files via FTP.

I can understand that you prevend users from changing anything in /etc or /lib. But this should be the absolute and not the relative path.
For example I could not create the relative folder /lib in the home directory of my ftp user, which would be absolute path /httpdocs/username/lib.
Hopefully you can fix this issue?

Hello!
On the test server I have successfully created the directory using the following command, being logged in as FTP user:
mkdir -p ./httpdocs/username/lib
