    I am having a really hard time with the ftp service. I setup the multiserver ISPConfig and the FTP is not working correctly. I see that Filezilla WinsCP get connected but are unable to retrieved directory. Servers have public IPs not behind firewall. I am new with linux and the ispconfig.

    Status: Retrieving directory listing...
    Thanks

    Thank you for the response. I do not have any firewall between servers and internet. I did that without any luck. I added those passive ports to the conf file and in the ISPConfig web console. Still same problem.

    Maybe your client isn't using passive mode? You'll have the same issue using active mode if you have a firewall or nat on your end which doesn't allow the active port connection - check that you're using passive mode, and if still an issue, see what debugging you can enable to trace what's going on better.

    Another solution to the "how to transfer files" issue that I prefer is to not use FTP at all, but SFTP or SCP; to do so, create a shell user for the site, rather than an ftp user. (I do keep FTP running for customers on most servers, but haven't needed/used it myself in years).

    This will be for the WinSCP. I see something strange. How is said not such file or directory? I created a client in the ISPConfig panel and I added this ftp account so I can try.

    Your username is 'jdiazftp', try changing to /home/jdiazftp (not /home/jdsupport).

    I believe that it is my problem. I created my fist client and his first site. Then, I created the ftp user account so I can test it. There is not any home directory for the ftp user account. How is suppose to upload files to build the site?

    That's exactly as it should be.

    The website directory is "web". I guess you just entered the wrong directory name in your FTP client. Check your FTP client settings, find the field where you entered /home/jdsupport and replace it with / or /web

    I tried with / and /web. I am still getting the same error. So my question. When I created the site for hte client and the ftp account. The ftp account is not suppose to have read/write access to the web site location of the client. I never have this problem before with the ISPConfig. Is my third installation.

    An FTP account has always read and write access to the directory with the name 'web' that is inside the / folder of your FTP user and this 'web' folder is the place where you upload your website files to.

    Set the directory to / in your FTP client, then connect and post the connect log that you get now.

    Jesse Norell Well-Known Member Staff Member Howtoforge Staff

    Did you change the 'Directory' under ftp user options, or why would you expect it to not have access?
     
  17. jhonatandiazp

    jhonatandiazp Member HowtoForge Supporter

    Yes, I did change it to / still getting the same error. Sorry, what I means is that the FTP user account is suppose to have access to the web directory. I do not know if the problem is the web server installation or something else. I do not want to re install it again.

    Thanks

    I ran that and I see that in ISPConfig Panel the
    User identifier (UID):web6 for the ftp user account. so It looks that permission are good. Correct?

    Do what @till said in #15 and you might get some more info.
    Change that back, it decreases the security of your server and changes what you see when logged in.
