All files and sub-dirs in the dir must be owned by the same group.
Make the user a member of this group.
chmod all files and dirs in the tree to at least g+rwx.

To make life easier in future, set the setgid bit on /var/www/vs and 
*all* sub-dirs recursively. This will ensure that any new files and 
dirs in the entire tree will be owned by the group that 
owns /var/www/vs. This ought to do it:

find /var/www/vs -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
