    I followed the perfect server cookbook rather precise, bought the latest ISP manual but I still cannot get ftp-users created in ISPconfig, to use SFTP or frp with TLS. I seem to have read somewhere that the user needs to be a real system user or shell-user. What is the purpose of a ftp-user then? Pse enlighten me...
    TIA

    You mix up SFTP and FTPS here. SFTP is SSH and not FTP, it is provided by the SSH daemon and not the FTP daemon pure-ftpd. Secure FTP is named FTPS and that's what pure-ftpd provides and which you can use with an FTP user.

    And if you want to transfer files by SSH (SFTP) and not FTP, then you need and SSH user

    Thanks Till. I know the difference. FTP with TLS (thus FTPS) does not work for me, probably a UFW problem because I see the cert being evaluates but the map list never succeeds. I'll play a bit with adding a ssh(shell)-user.
    Best regards, EJ.
