Hey there,
I´m new to Linux but got directed towards ISPConfig by a friend when I needed a hosting solution for another friend.
I went through the guide provided here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...at-ispconfig-3
I followed it to the letter and everything seemed to go smoothly. I could create a client and a site within ISPConfig. The site worked and I could publish stuff on it. I ran into problems when I wanted to create an ftp user for the site. I created the ftp user within ISPConfig and it is marked as active.
When I try to ftp via this user I created, I get the following message within my ftp client:
Status: Connecting to 555.555.555.555...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "user1@555.555.555.555" 22
Command: Pass: ********
Error: Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server
When I try to ftp in as root, that works without problems (even though root is located within /etc/ftpusers)
I checked the auth.log and found this, when trying to ftp in with the user I created:
sshd[18060]: Invalid user **** from 192.168.255.3
sshd[18060]: Failed none for invalid user **** from 192.168.255.3 port 53982 ssh2
sshd[18060]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown
sshd[18060]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.255.3
So I´m thinking if ISPConfig did not create the user within the ftp server itself?
At this moment I´m stuck since I can´t provide the users with ftp access so they are unable to work on setting their site up.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
