    I tried to install pureftp on Debian Lenny (Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Debian Lenny)
    but i can't connect to the Pureftp server.
    I'd checked everthing twice but i don't know what went wrong.
    Anonymous connection works fine,but that's not where i'm looking for.

    What are the outputs of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    and
    Code:
    iptables -L
    ?
    Do you get any error messages?
    Are there any errors in your logs?

    I guess you want to see the output of netstat -tap mysql?

    tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 23667/mysqld

    the output of iptables are:

    Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination

    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination

    Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination

    and only the syslog will give an errormessage like this:

    Nov 8 16:53:22 jupiter pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from 192.168.1.5
    Nov 8 16:53:22 jupiter pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] PAM_RHOST enabled. Getting the peer address
    Nov 8 16:53:29 jupiter pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [WARNING] Authentication failed for user [ftpdick]
    Nov 8 16:53:32 jupiter pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout.

    i hope you can help me further?

    Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

    Is this a physical server or a virtual machine (OpenVZ maybe?)?

    It's a physical server.
