And thanks fo replying
apologies i misread the original post, i skim read it , and missed about it accepting the password . with the admin login it will drop you to /var/www/web6/ and the other i twill drop you into /var/www/web6/user/web6_rpavez is this about right?
It supose, but nither of the two accounts connect me with some specific folder.... i mean, i can't connect to the specific folder with any acout (with an ftp client)
the admin account will drop you into the root folder of that website ie /var/www/web6/ and in there you will have a "web" folder which is where the site is stored. the other user will drop you in their users folder as i imagine that they arent an admin ie /var/www/web6/user/web6_rpavez where do you want them to drop you? from the admin account you can just click on the web folder and then you have the website directory there from the user's folder add them as an admin then you can make your way to the web folder aswell. failing that what ive done is create sub folders to the website ie /var/www/web6/user1 and then put a symbolic link in the user folder which allows me to drop them into that folder i dont know if that will work for what you want, or even if it is what you are after.
The problem i not that..... i can upload files trough web ftp, the one who cames with ispconfig... but when i trie with n ftp client, the ftp client doesn't show me the folder... this is the output of the ftp client STATUS:> [09-01-2009 18:13:49] Connected.

you need to rule out a fair bit first. can you connect to other ftp servers from that client? have you tried connecting to your server from a dos box? with that client, have you tried changing it from pasv, to port ?
Thanks both for the concern... i tried connct to another ftp with the cilent... an there's no problem.... I've tried every way of connection... i've being searhing for a week and nothing....
Ok, this sounds like a firewall problem. Can you try to switch off the firewall on the server (or any router that sits between you and the server)?
More specifically, its probably a Passive FTP config issue with the firewall and ftp server config. If you select NOT passive on your FTP client and try to see the directory listings, if you see the directory listings you have a Passive FTP config issue.
