Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS? It was working!

Hi all,

I'm in process of moving wibsites onto new server and on the new server I folloowed this guide https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-...hp-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p5
moved 2 sites and it worked because they're Wordpress. Third one is not Wordpress and did not work because it does not work with php v5.5.9 on the server. Old server had php v5.3.10 so I found this guide https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.10-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p4 and followed section
14.3 Additional PHP Versions that's the last change I made before noticing my FTP password change in ISPconfig are no longer working and I'm getting below message saying I'm not using TLS? It worked already.
I've searched the forums but could not find anything.
Re-did section 16. Install PureFTPd And Quota but no luck. I spent so much time setting up everything and now I have to start from begging

Code:

Status:    Connecting to 198.27.xx.xxx:21...
Status:    Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status:    Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Command:    USER username_example_com
Response:    331 User username_example_com OK. Password required
Command:    PASS **********
Response:    530 Login authentication failed
Error:    Critical error: Could not connect to server

 

Anyone? please.

 

Thanks for the reply til!
Here we go:

Code:

root@linux:~# cat /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS

root@linux:~#

Code:

root@linux:~# ls -la /etc/ssl/private/
total 16

Great!
Here we go:

Code:

root@linux:~# service pure-ftpd-mysql restart
Restarting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-mysql-virtualchroot -l mysql                                                                                        :/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf -l pam -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -E -                                                                                        A -D -u 1000 -b -Y 1 -8 UTF-8 -H -B

Ok, just to make sure I'm logging in into correct server for ispconfig I used IP instead of domain name. ie. https://serverIP:8080/index.php#
and created new password. using putty connected to same server IP and in terminal I did this:

Code:

root@linux:~# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
220-Welcome to cc-ftpd.
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 12:54. Server port: 21.
220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Name (localhost:root): username_example_com
331 User username_example_com OK. Password required
Password:
530 Login authentication failed
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> exit
221-Goodbye. You uploaded 0 and downloaded 0 kbytes.
221 Logout.
root@linux:~#

Still can't login. Unless there's a restriction somewhere that prevent login from localhost terminal?

 

Here we go:

Code:

root@linux:~# netstat -tap | grep ftp
tcp        0      0 *:ftp                   *:*                     LISTEN      2754/cc-ftpd (SERVE
root@linux:~#

 

Update:
Looking at that output I think that's Cenova Cast FTP server (cc-ftpd) that I installed few weeks back and is now overtaking port 21, am I correct?

 

Yep, that's what it was. No wonder all of password changes did not work Thanks for your help, I could not do it my self!

 

Hi, I installed ispconfig 3 and added a class2 startssl certificate. Everything looks fine except I get this message in ftp:
Connecting to xx.xx.xx.x:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
I read the previous talk but didn't work for me. Could you help, please.

 

@till I had to rerun:
echo 1 > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS
after updating ispconfig.
Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Initializing TLS...
Status: Verifying certificate...
Status: TLS connection established.
Status: Connected
Cheers.

 

have virtual box with isp. from local machine i can use ftp. from internet i got error as above. ports 20,21 and 22 are open. as so port 30000 (in vbox i can't open a range for ftp passive)

vbox 2 nic's -> host only, and NAT (in NAT i've opened the ports as so in windows firewall)
