$50 paypal if you can solve this SIMPLE Linux FTP problem. - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, I'm screwing up something simple but can't figure out what.

My FTP server is running on a Linux 9.0 box.

I can connect to it, but it won't let me login. Always says "Login
Incorrect". SSH, etc works fine, just not FTP.

I know the ftp server pulls a list of current users, so I created
a user "ftpadmin".

useradd -gusers -pxxxxx -d/home/ftpadmin -m ftpadmin

I can su to the user via SSH, but I can't FTP in as that user.

Anyone know what the hell I'm doing wrong? Is there anything
else I need to edit? I changed my vsftpd.conf to not allow
anonymous connections, but that's about all I did as far as
changing conf settings (and of course I restarted the FTP
server).

First person to solve this for me gets $50 paypal. just tell
me what to do.

thanks!

Try this:

[root@deep ] /# mkdir /home/ftp
[root@deep ] /# useradd -d /home/ftp/ftpadmin/ -s /dev/null ftpadmin > /dev/null 2>&1
[root@deep ] /# passwd ftpadmin

Changing password for user ftpadmin
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully

i tried that already, went through every walkthrough on google.
fuck it. i'll just reinstall linux again and see if that helps.

hold on.. thats not needed.

Whats in your /etc/ftpaccess file? Did you configure it to allow the users?

colpanic · 10-15-2004, 02:19 PM

try adding this to the ftpaccess file.

allow-uid ftpadmin

There is no Linux 9.0 I guess you mean Red Hat 9.0 .

I prefer ProFTPd or PureFTPd.

Maybe that helps:

echo $SHELL

What ever it prints, check in /etc/shells if it exists there. If it doesn't, there you got your problem.
