Hello everyone,

I tried it using ftp client and following is the output:-

[root@bramha ~]# ftp shakti
Connected to shakti.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.10 Server (shakti) [shakti]
500 AUTH not understood

Help guys I am totally struck

how long is your password

try add new user on shakti with password 6 chars only and test it if worked with this user mean you are using 3DES not MD5

FYI: old system use 3DES with not supported long chars pass

Hi,

There is no such file for logs in /var/log/proftpd

I tried a no. of permutations and combinations and then thought lets install vsftpd which I am used to.

But, after configuring vsftpd the way I usually do and was on previous server. Still it is giving some problems to login as a local user. But, I think the problem may be regarding PAM as I found a line:-

PAM(music): Authentication failure.

So,
Any idea?

Hello routers,

I found the solution.This problem was because of the login shell I had added to this user (It was ftponly ) which I had scpd from another server. I changed it to /sbin/nologin and also I had to open the port 21 and 20 (control and data port)

And voila, it worked

Thanks for your help

finaly im glad to hear that

can let me know what is port 20 u use for ?

20 port is used for data transfer
