Hello, I have a fresh install of ISP Config 3.1.8 on Debian 9. After creating a user in the FTP Users section I can not authenticate via FTP using FileZilla as Client Software. - user created successfully (i even checked ispconfig DB under ftp_user) - i can login as root (so i presume PureFtpd is working) Can some body please help with the issue (I already tried pretty much everything i could dig up on this Forum )
I guess you are logging in with SFTP (this is SSH and not FTP) and not FTP or FTPS (FTP over TLS). A root user can not login by FTP (but can login by SSH / SFTP), so when root login is working, then you use SFTP and not FTP. Switch your FTP program to use FTPS or FTP and not SFTP.
Yes i am using SFTP Status: Connecting to ... Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=8 Command: open "" 22 Command: Pass: ************* Error: Authentication failed. Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server Status: Disconnected from server
And that's the reason for your error, SFTP is not FTP, it is SSH. Switch your client to use FTPS instead. When you want to use SFTP, then you have to create an SSH user without jail as SFTP is SSH.
