-------------Here is what I get when trying to connect.

Status: Connecting to 192.168.1.123 ...
Status: Connected with 192.168.1.123, negotiating SSL connection...
Response: 220 (vsFTPd 2.0.4)
Command: AUTH SSL
Response: 530 Please login with USER and PASS.
Error: Unable to connect!
Status: Waiting to retry... (5 retries left)
Error: Unable to connect!
Error: Interrupted by user!

I'm using a user name and password of an account on the system.
Their shell is /bin/false and it's in /etc/shells also.
The RSA certificate is in place too.
I'm stumped, completely stumped...

Thanks for the help

vsftpd&SSL working except it wont accept passwords.
 

It won't accept passwords regardless of what I do.

I try over, ssl, tsl, ssh.

I keep getting this error and am clueless as to why...

I think it's something in the vsftpd config, but I can't figure out what it is.

Thanks

I've merged your two threads ...

What a tease :(
I thought someone actually replied!

Thanks though

This : http://www.brennan.id.au/14-FTP_Server.html might help, it's an actual howto, there's quite a bit about vsftpd and ssl in there.

Thank you ma'am.


I appreciate the assistance.
