I have checked pureftpd.log file and it was nothing there.... and these are all the log files under that directory.... and no authentication log.... should i look at any other log files?

acpid / ispconfig / rpmpkgs.1

Please check /var/log/messages for authentication errors.

Hey there,

I´m having the exact same problem as Breezer here.

I have created an ftp user under a client and that user is marked as active. When I try to connect via filezilla, I get the same error messages as posted earlier in this thread. I can however connect as root, even though root is present in ftpusers under /etc

Here is what pops up in the auth.log:

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 obviously the ftp does not recognize the user I created in ISPConfig, so the question is why not?

I have checked there there is no authentication log... but there was pureftpd.log i have checked it out and there is nothing there...

[falko]

Did you check /var/log/messages?

Please open a new thread.

this happens all the time even if i do not try to log in....

[Breezer]

I've been doing little bit of research... and i have came across this

Then, you have to run the pure-ftpd command with '-l mysql:' (it's an 'ell'
not a 'one') followed by the path of that configuration file. Here's an
example with tcpserver:

tcpserver -DHRl0 0 21 /usr/local/bin/pure-ftpd -l mysql:/etc/pureftpd-mysql.conf &

You can mix different authentication methods. For instance, if you want to
use system (/etc/passwd) accounts when an account is not found in a MySQL
database, use -l mysql:/etc/pureftpd-mysql.conf -l unix


now is it possible that ftp is not pointed into the appropriate directory, as in its only pointed to mysql and not etc/passwd so thats why i can only log in with my root sql password... ?

if so how can i fix this so its pointed to both directories.... if NOT disregard this thought...

This may have already been said but I didn't read all the post completely.
Your user name you are log in in with might be the problem, I also had this problem until I figured it out. So when you create a client lets say "Website1" then next step is the FTP-user "ftp1" under websites. So the log in name should be "website1ftp1" for the log in to work.

You will see [clientname]"username" on the ftp user name screen. So I put them together and it worked for me

No that is not the issue... I have already tried that and made sure that i am using the full name ie website1ftp1, and the right password... also tried the different transfer settings : default / active / passive and none of them work.
I get the same response all the time

Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "website1ftp1@555.555.555.555" 22
Command: Pass: ********
Error: Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server

thats why it makes me think that the pureftpd is not looking at the same folder that the the ispconfig creates the usernames and passwords for ftp.
