FTP problems

[sageman]

Hi there,

after reinstall of ISPConfig due to a hardware related problem, I can`t Login into any FTP.

It seems that before the reinstall anonftp was used(at least I found users like web4_anonftp).
Now, when creating a new Client (with FTP-checkmark), such user is not being created - nor can I log in(new or old accounts).

Please point me in the right direction - bear in mind, my shell repertoire is quite limited...

Thanks,
Richard

Please have a look in the ISPConfig logfile for errors:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log

OK - here is a warning I get, hope it is relevant:

17.02.2006 - 14:57:06 => WARN - /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php, Line 1861: WARNING: could not useradd -d /srv/www/web4/ftp -g web4_anonftp -M -s /bin/false -u 12004 web4_anonftp &> /dev/null

Does your /etc/passwd file contains the user web4_anonftp ?

Also check the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/users if web4_anonftp is in there.

yep: web4_anonftp:x:12004:12004::/srv/www/web4/ftp:/bin/false


Also check the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/users if web4_anonftp is in there.

is there: web4_anonftp

OK - I think I am asking the wrong question:

Anonymous FTP on the domain belonging to web4 IS possible - but how do I create a "regular" FTP-Login?

When I hit the Web-FTP button in ISPConfig, I can not login:
login failed as user ...

Create a user on the "user & email" tab of the website and use this username and password for login. If you check the administrator checkbox for a user, this user will be able to upload files with FTP to the main website directory.

Thanks, Till - that was it ...

I promise to read the manual from front the end - and not just skip over it!
