No FTP/Web-FTP login possible

Hi
At first, excuse my bad english. The School is a while ago ...

Yesterday, i ve installed ISPConfig for the first Time (on a Debian-vServer from Strato).

The Installation was Ok. ISP-Config is still running.
Only one Problem I can't solve. Any FTP-Access is not working (Anon-Login
is still working!). All Login-trys fail (at Web-FTP & with my SmartFTP-Prog.)

/var/log/syslog says:

Code:

May  3 10:59:04 xxxxx proftpd[1463]: xxx.xxxxxxx.de (pxxxxxxxxx.dip0.t-ipconnect.de[80.xxx.x.xxx]) - FTP session opened. 
May  3 10:59:05 xxxxx proftpd[1463]: xxx.xxxxxxx.de (pxxxxxxxxx.dip0.t-ipconnect.de[80.xxx.x.xxx]) - no such user 'username' 

Is there a chance to help me pls? That will be great!

Within ISPConfig, is FTP-access enabled for the website and does the user exists indeed?

Do you have the line:

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

within your /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf ?

Did you created a symlink for ISPConfig? By performing the command:

ln -s /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.conf

 

Hi,

Sure. FTP-Access is enabled.

Yes. Have a look:

Code:

#
# /etc/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

There is no Dir proftpd at /etc. The proftpd.conf exists at /etc/proftpd.conf


Thx for help so far...

 

Nobody any Ideas?

 

Yes, i did. If I enable Anonymus-FTP, it even works.
But its no User Access possible...

 

Is the user that you try to log in with listed in /etc/passwd?

 

I have exactly the same symptoms (though it is not an Strato Server but also Etch).
In my case NO customers created with ISPConfig can be fount in /etc/passwd

 

Excuse my late reply here.
I did a new Installation of my vServer, so i cant have a look, if this was so.
After this new Installation of my Server, an a re-Install of ISPCondig, it all runs fine.
ISPConfig is a really fine thing!! Thanks for developing!

 

I have just setup my system and have setup one Client and one site. The client name does not appear in the /etc/passw file. The other settings you have asked to check above all match as well. This is a Suse10.2 system

The ftp port is open, and the client connects and takes around 5 seconds for a prompt from ProFTPD to come back (220 ProFTPD 1.3.0a Server (ProFTPD Default Installation)).

Installation was completed by following the howtoForge pages for Suse 10.2,

Any further way of tracing why the user is not in the /etc/passw file?
