    1) Did you enable the ftp checkbox in the settings of the website in ispconfig?
    2) Are you sure that the username is really scu and not something like web1_scu ?

    You mean grep isn't it

    Did you create a user for that web site on the User & Email tab?

    The CP login user is not equal to the user that may access via FTP. For FTP you need to create a user via email&users and give it administrator rights.
