One thing I don't see in the debugging output, when it dumps the
configuration parsed from your /etc/proftpd.conf file, is mention of the
"Classes" directive.  If proftpd doesn't see that "Classes on" directive,
it won't try to do class-detection.  Not in 1.2.9, anyway.

The file was from using classes, or not using classes?

This file also shows the client logging in anonymously.  Your posted
config didn't have an <Anonymous> section, but did have the AnonymousGroup
directive.  As mentioned in the docs for AnonymousGroup, though:

  http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_AnonymousGroup.html

AnonymousGroup sessions use a special dynamic configuration, which cannot
be changed from anything in the proftpd.conf.  In short, I don't think you
should be using AnonymousGroup for what you're trying to achieve.

Cheers,
TJ

   I love not man the less, but Nature more,
   From these our interviews, in which I steal
   From all I may be, or have been before,
   To mingle with the Universe, and feel
   What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.
