Everything looks like it's working fine, I look in the System Log and it shows; Oct 26 15:30:11 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from xx.xx.xx.xx Oct 26 15:30:11 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] testclient-test is now logged in Unfortunately in the ftp client it says; 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ---------- 220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed. 220-Local time is now 15:00.

Seems to be a firewall issue, most likely there is no passive port range opened in the firewall that matches the passive ports from pure-ftpd. There are several options to fix this: a) use ftp active mode. b) switch off the firewall. c) define a passive port range in pure-ftpd and then open these ports in the firewall. http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...ange-in-pure-ftpd-on-denian-and-ubuntu-linux/
Yeah, I thought it was a firewall issue too (we use ISA2006), but we've checked and you can watch it letting the traffic through. SELinux is also disabled. I've also tried setting it to active mode in the ftp client but that says Access Denied too and then keeps trying to reconnect every 10 seconds.
Please enable verbose logging in pure-ftpd to see which errors the daemon logs: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...nable-debugging-in-pure-ftpd-on-debian-linux/
Thanks. As I'm using CentOS 5.5, I changed VerboseLog to yes in /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf and restarted pure-ftpd. Doesn't appear to be any change in the system log though. Is there a pure-ftp specific one? It looks to me like the ftp connection is being made with the server, but then it's saying the ftp account doesn't have access to that directory and so I can't read/write anything. After a while the connection times out and the ftp client says 'Connection closed'. I'll use Shell for now. Just a really annoying problem, and I'm definitely no Linux expert =( Darran
Centos uses other files for the pure-ftpd configuration. As far as I know, there is a config file in /etc or so.
