FTP Access

[ProTrooper]

I finally installed ISPConfig and started to play with it. I created a client and a web site with ftp access, but it will not let me log in. It prompts for a user and password and I tried everything.

Have you checked the "FTP" checkbox for this site?

And have a look at this thread, it may contain the solution:

I tried from a non-firewalled computer to a non-firewalled server both passively and actively. It returns "login incorrect." The FTP access check box is enabled. What is the default login/pass?

Yah, I read that, but it didn't really help. For some reason I can't find the log file (/var/log/proftpd.log) either. The proftpd service is started. If it would help, I can give you access to the server since it is a test server. Here are the listening services:

There is nothing after "(acce"

I can log into the stats page with my test user account. Should I be able to log in to the ftp with that account?

Yes, that's right.

[ProTrooper]

Yah okay that's what I thought. But no... it doesn't work.

[ProTrooper]

I tried to connect using an FTP client so I can see all the handshakin' and it returns "login incorrect." Is this an ambiguous error or is the login wrong?

[falko]

Can you post your /etc/proftpd.conf here?
