Whether i have to drop the old vsftpd-virtual-user.db and create a new vsftpd-virtual-user.db

how can i migrate all users in my old vsftpd-virtual-user.db to new vsftpd-virtual-user.db file

Both actions require you to rebuild the database as far as I'm aware.

I don't know of any other way than just dumping the database with 'db_dump -p' and parsing the output. It will have user names and logins on alternating lines just like in the original input file.
