ProFTPD on Debian: how do I create FTP accunts?

I installed ProFTP on Debian. Then I created a user account (using useradd). But this user cannot cannot access FTP, though he can access SSH. Please help!

Make sure the following is in your proftpd.conf file (usually /etc/proftpd.conf):

Code:

<Anonymous ~joe>

AnonRequirePassword on

User joe

Group users

RequireValidShell off

<Directory *>

<Limit WRITE>

AllowAll

</Limit>

</Directory>

</Anonymous>

The above is not the entire proftpd.conf file, just an example of a user's entry. This would allow access to an already existing user account named joe. Obviously, you should change it as necessary, but it's a start.

Hope it works for you.

Thanks, WindowBreaker. Does it mean that I need to create an entry for each FTP user?
