Greetings! I've installed Fedora 8 using "The perfect server" article. I cannot configure proftpd to access ftp. I've created user test, but it cannot login, although this user can be logged in via ssh. I've made some changes in proftpd.conf file but this was useless. May be you know some default steps I have to configure or I should show you my config file?
It would be perfect to access to ftp from Windows machine, cause I need this ftp to access my home files from work and other places and there is no Linux for 99%. I cannot connect my ftp even from server, where ftp is running.
Yes, but what shell is your user having? You can find out about the user's shell by looking at /etc/passwd. The shell that is used by that user must be listed in /etc/shells because otherwise the user can't use FTP.
SE Linux is disabled. Firewall too. I can enter my credentials, but I've got error. This is my dialog: "Connected to irben.id.lv (192.168.1.102). 220 ProFTPD 1.3.1 Server (Irben FTP server) [::ffff:192.168.1.102] Name (irben.id.lv:root): test 331 Password required for test 530 Login incorrect. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> exit 221 Goodbye." You can try to connect my ftp with test user and testpass as password. What exactly do I have to do to grant new user permission to access ftp?
So the username is test? What's the output of Code: grep test /etc/passwd ? What's in /etc/shells? Did you set a password for the user by running Code: passwd test ?
Code: [root@irben~]# grep test /etc/passwd test:x:20001:20001::/home/test:/bin/bash Code: [root@irben~]# cat /etc/shells /bin/sh /bin/bash /bin/nologin /bin/zsh /bin/false /SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/ Yes, of course. I've told test user's pass is: testpass
Can that user log in to SSH? Maybe this post helps: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=687&postcount=11
