check the /etc/passwd file
the users need to have a shell in there
the end of the line /bin/bash as opossed to /bin/false

It supose, but nither of the two accounts connect me with some specific folder.... i mean, i can't connect to the specific folder with any acout (with an ftp client)

[stevieb_]

the admin account will drop you into the root folder of that website
ie /var/www/web6/

and in there you will have a "web" folder which is where the site is stored.

the other user will drop you in their users folder as i imagine that they arent an admin
ie /var/www/web6/user/web6_rpavez

where do you want them to drop you?
from the admin account you can just click on the web folder and then you have the website directory there
from the user's folder add them as an admin then you can make your way to the web folder aswell.
failing that what ive done is create sub folders to the website
ie /var/www/web6/user1 and then put a symbolic link in the user folder which allows me to drop them into that folder
i dont know if that will work for what you want, or even if it is what you are after.

you need to rule out a fair bit first.
can you connect to other ftp servers from that client?

have you tried connecting to your server from a dos box?

with that client, have you tried changing it from pasv, to port ?

[falko]

Have you tried both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

[rpavez]

Thanks both for the concern... i tried connct to another ftp with the cilent... an there's no problem.... I've tried every way of connection...

i've being searhing for a week and nothing....
