ftp access not working

[pattyjay]

gday,

i am trying to access the ftp server at ftp://192.168.0.100, i get prompted with the username / password,

when i enter the credentials it says bad username password, but if i login as a client into ispconfig and use webftp and enter the same credentials it allows the login, is there something i am doing wrong...

Which Linux distribution do you use?

[pattyjay]

fedora core 9 (sulphur)

so strange as it allows be to browse and upload / delete in webftp, but not normal ftp-ing....

Please open the proftpd.conf file (in /etc/) and comment out the include for the proftpd_ispconfig.conf file. then restart proftpd.

thanks heaps for that, worked a charm.. could you please explain what was going wrong and why it was doin that?

I'am not sure what causes the problem. Fedora is the only linux distribution that does not allow different virtual proftpd server settings per IP as ispconfig sets them up. By removing the ispconfig include, you have just one main proftpd server setting. The only drawback is that you now have just one Anonymous FTP account for the server and not one anon FTP per IP.
