Problem with proftpd

I seem to be having some trouble getting logged in trough ftp. My server is located in my house. I am 100% sure the password I am entering is correct. I am also commented out the user 'root'(one I am trying to login to ftp with) in the config file.

Code:

[18:11:53] SmartFTP v2.5.1008.27

[18:11:53] Resolving host name "192.168.2.5"

[18:11:53] Connecting to 192.168.2.5 Port: 21

[18:11:53] Connected to 192.168.2.5.

[18:11:58] 220 ProFTPD 1.3.0 Server (ProFTPD) [192.168.2.5]

[18:11:58] USER root

[18:11:58] 331 Password required for root.

[18:11:58] PASS (hidden)

[18:11:58] 530 Login incorrect.

If anyone can help, that would be great :)

Is this the part you uncommented;

Code:

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home

# directory, uncomment this line.

#DefaultRoot ~

also this may help;

No, I made it so the root could be used as ftp.

Code:

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to

What distro?
You don't want to run the chroot do you so comment that line;
#DefaultRoot ~
then restart it
I don't use proftpd, I use Pure-FTPd so I am just guessing
do you have the file /etc/pam.d/ftp

Can you tell me hoe to uninstall this and install Pure-FTPd?

I have CentOS.

You should be able to get it to work, you just have to spend a little time;
This is for redhat 4 about the same as centos
See if you missed something;
I would start at the PAM part
Just make sure you restart it each time you edit the conf file
