Trouble Logging in to FTP server
 
I am running the lastest verson of proftp and I can login anonymous but I get a login failed when I try with username and password.

Here is my config file


# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

ServerName "Midgettfamily.net"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21

# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask 022

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd).
MaxInstances 30

# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User ftp
Group ftp

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
DefaultRoot ~

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
AllowOverwrite on
</Directory>

# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories. If you do not
# want anonymous users, simply delete this entire <Anonymous> section.
<Anonymous ~ftp>
User ftp
Group ftp

# We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp"
UserAlias anonymous ftp

# Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins
MaxClients 10

# We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed
# in each newly chdired directory.
# DisplayLogin welcome.msg
# DisplayFirstChdir .message

# Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
<Limit WRITE>
denyall
</Limit>
</Anonymous>

Have you tried deleting the anonymous secton?

Yes I have tried it both ways. I am not sure what to do. The usernames are in the ftpusers list and all.

i have the same problem =(. the log at /var/log/proftpd.log tells me no such user when i tried a bad username, or incorrect password when i tried a bad password. However when i tried both the correct user name and password it just says (Login failed):user in /etc/ftpusers ???? shouldnt i put the usernames i want there???? i'm lost =(

You put the users you don't want ftp access in ftpusers file, so you have to delete your username to be able to use ftp.
