Problem with proftpd

wcnghj · 01-19-2008, 05:17 PM

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:

#
# To have more informations about Proftpd configuration
# look at : http://www.proftpd.org/
#

# 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			"ProFTPD"
#ServerType			standalone
ServerType inetd
DefaultServer			on
<Global>
DefaultRoot	~		psacln
AllowOverwrite		on
RootLogin on
AllowStoreRestart on
AuthAliasOnly off
</Global>
DefaultTransferMode	binary
UseFtpUsers			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

#Following part of this config file were generate by PSA automatically
#Any changes in this part will be overwritten by next manipulation 
#with Anonymous FTP feature in PSA control panel.

#Include directive should point to place where FTP Virtual Hosts configurations
#preserved

ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd/scoreboard

# Primary log file mest be outside of system logrotate province

TransferLog /usr/local/psa/var/log/xferlog

#Change default group for new files and directories in vhosts dir to psacln

<Directory /var/www/vhosts>
	GroupOwner	psacln
</Directory>

# Enable PAM authentication
AuthPAM on
AuthPAMConfig proftpd

IdentLookups off 
UseReverseDNS off

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
