ftp permissions problem

Hello everyone,

I am having a problem on a server where I have removed vsftpd and installed proftpd. When logging in with filezilla or smartftp I get a directory listing error. I can however get a directory listing from a windows command prompt. I can not however write to the directory.

Does anyone have an idea on this issue?

Thanks in advance.

*EDIT*
I just realized I posted this in the wrong thread, my apologies. Please move it if needed.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Here is what filezilla displays when attempting to login:

Status: Connecting to www.domain.com ...

when tailing the messages log I get this when attempting to log in:

Feb 19 23:00:00 server1 proftpd[20862]: server1 :ffff:xx.xx.xx.xx[::ffff:xx.xx.xx.xx]) - FTP session opened.
Feb 19 23:00:00 server1 proftpd(pam_unix)[20862]: session opened for user username by (uid=0)

 

yes, that would do it, thanks till. Just when I thought I was getting somewhere learning linux something so easy is overlooked. I set my ftp client to active, it listed the directory.

Thanks till. I beat myself over the head for a week on this one
