Kindly help. thanks in Advance.

Hi,

You didn't say your distro and how you've installed proftpd.
Are you sure that the pam module is compiled in proftpd. What gives
You can comment out the 2 directives
and try to login to see if it works

Regards

Hi,

I am using Centos 5.6. and I commented the both Auth configuration. the same error getting.

Hi,

So pam auth is not compiled in proftpd, that's why it was complaining.
I guess you've restarted the proftpd service after the changes. Also make sure you're using the correct username/password and that user deepak is not listed in /etc/ftpusers

Regards

Hi Bathory,

I checked the user deepak is not listed in the /etc/ftpuser. and when I am trying to connect it gives a message "500 AUTH not understood". please help.

[root@deepak ftp]# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
220 FTP Server ready.

hi,

It's /etc/ftpusers (with a trailing "s"). Regarding the "500 AUTH..." it's due to your client. It's nothing to worry about

About the actual error:
You didn't say how you've installed proftpd? If you used your distro's package manager, everything should be sorted.
Are you sure about the username (deepak) and password you're using are correct? I mean can you ssh into that host as user deepak and the password you use for ftp?
Also, try to remove the last restrictions:
to see if it helps
