Yum Update-cant ftp anymore.

So i updated the server:

yum update

Now i cant login to ftp with my third pary application.
I know the username and passwords are correct (they are the same ones i use to login through the web interface) although it acts like it is a password issue.
Says it gives 530 error for every site on the server.

I can login to all sites through the web interface.

stessing me out

 

i can access the sites through standard browsing as well as through the ISPConfig Web-FTP interface.

 

Which distribution are you using? Any errors in your logs? Is SELinux disabled?

 

Fedora 7.

How can i check to see if SELinux is still disabled. I should be sure before I dig through files.

Does Web-FTP access the server on port 21 or on port 81 or port 21 via 81?

This isnt so bad though. I really didnt want to use the web-ftp interface but the truth is it is pretty solid and reliable.

 

Take a look at chapter 6 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_fedora7_p3 .

Port 21.

 

I'm having the same problem, also with fedora 7. SElinux is disabled. I previously ran ispconfig 2.2.17 so I upgraded to 2.2.18 expecting to fix the FTP. No luck, I am getting the same errors stripeco described.

I don't have an exact date but a yum update came out a few weeks ago with an update for ProFTP and ever since then, i have gone without ftp.

 

What's in your proftpd.conf and in /etc/pam.d/ftp?
