Problem with PureFTPd

[user2012]

hi all, follow the steps according to Howto http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-ho...-ubuntu-12.04.

the problem is that I can not connect to the server via FTP Filezilla for example. what I see in the file var / log / auth.log is:

Server pure-ftpd: pam_unix (pure-ftpd: auth): check pass; unknown user
Server pure-ftpd: pam_unix (pure-ftpd: auth): authentication failure; logname = uid = 0 euid = 0 tty = pure-ftpd ruser = rhost = exampleuser

and in the /var/log/message I get the following:

*Server pure-ftpd: (? @ 100.x.x.x) [INFO] New connection from 100.x.x.x
Server pure-ftpd: (? @ 100.x.x.x) [INFO] PAM_RHOST enabled. Getting the peer address
Sep 4 11:45:12 server pure-ftpd: (? @ 100.x.x.x) [WARNING] Authentication failed for user [exampleuser]
Sep 4 11:45:12 server pure-ftpd: (? @ 100.x.x.x) [INFO] Logout.

if I can help with this, thank you very much

Is this a virtual machine or a physical server?

Did you follow the tutorial as close as possible? Maybe you made a typo or some other error somewhere...

[user2012]

I do not think, do the same installation 2 times, reinstalled operating system to rule out any errors.

Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

[user2012]

estimated, modify parameters (Active and Pasive) in FTP client does not work. when I try to connect to the FTP server via LAN, via console, I get the following message:

220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 09:40. Server port: 21.

Looks like you're using a wrong password. Have you tried to set another one?

If that doesn't help: do your passwords contain special characters?

[user2012]

I tried putting in MD5 password, ENCRYPT and neither works. I have no special characters, just plain text. not connected.

thanks.

Not sure what's wrong, but you must have done something wrong. I know that the tutorial works as described, I've used it many times. Please double-check.
