    FTP doesn't work

    Hi,

    I recently installed ISPConfig, I think it's that I need.. But when I tryed to connect to the FTP, that didn't work.

    The FTP is actived on the plan.

    I created an user (administrator) web1_myname, with my password, when I try to log on, FileZilla give me that error: 530 Login incorrect.
    So the login doesn't work.

    Same things when I try to connect on http://IP:81/mailuser/ for example.
    > Erreur: Password error: Login failed.

    I don't understand.

    Thanks in advance for your help !

    Regards,

    Did you enable the Administrator option for that user?
    It's under ISP Manager > the-domain > User & Email > the_user_name. (you will need to enable the "Administrator" part.

    Also note that the login is the Username as shown in the User & Email part. (webNR_name)

    What's the output of
    Code:
    grep web1_solvik /etc/passwd
    ?
    Any errors in your logs? Which distribution do you use?

    Impossible to connect with web1_solvik

    (translation of my french error message :))

    Are you absolutely sure you're using the correct password? Please set a new one in ISPConfig and try again.

    You must enable FTP for that web site in ISPConfig. If users have /dev/null as shell, it means that FTP isn't enabled for that web site.
