ispconfig proftp

Can anyone help me

Non of my users are able to access ftp using their usernames and passwords

eg.

host: xxxxxxx.com port 21

user: web24_admin

pw: xxxxxxx

we get a login invalid message

user is listed in etc/passwd as:

web24_admin:x:10124:10024::/var/www/web24:/bin/bash

Thanks

Hi Falko

I created the suggested ftp file and that seems to have fixed the problem of logging in via filezilla.

I am still however unable to use the web-ftp on ispconfig

Any ideas?

Thanks once again

John

 

Do you see any error messages? What's in the logs?

 

All I get is

'could not connect as user web1_user'

I have however since my last post been able to login with one user.

I have 10 sites and am unable to access any of the web-ftp except one

When I checked the passwd file in etc/passwd the user that is able to login in has bin/bash at the end of his line all the other users have bin/false? could this have something to do with the problem.

Any help will be appreciated

Thank-you

John

 

Is /bin/false listed in /etc/shells? If not, add it to that file.

 

Hi

Yes it is listed there

Thanks

John

 

Can you post /etc/shells and one of the not-working users from /etc/passwd?

 

Hi Falko

/etc/shells

/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/sbin/nologin
/bin/tcsh
/bin/csh
/bin/false
/SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/

/etc/passwd

web9_john:x:10123:10009:John:/var/www/web9:/bin/false

Thanks

John

 

And when you change /bin/false to /bin/bash for web9_john in /etc/passwd, that user can log in using FTP?

 

No same error

Thanks

John

 

And there's nothing in the logs? Not even in the auth.log?

 

Hi Falko

Where would I fing the auth.log file
