How to create FTP account for an domain?

centmin.sh menu option 2 and option 22 generated site domain nginx vhost already auto creates the pure-ftpd virtual ftpd user account.

• Did you let the script generate a password for you or set your own ?
• Did you make sure to enable explicit TLS/SSL mode and enable PASV passive mode like in 1st post here.
• Which FTP client ? As not all FTP clients support FTP explicit TLS/SSL mode only clients listed at bottom of this post.

From 1st post here, try the pure-pw commands to display pure-ftpd user details and change the user password. Also pure-pw manual is here and http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/doc/README.Virtual-Users

list all pure-ftpd created virtual FTP users

Code:

pure-pw list

Code:

pure-pw list
ftpuser /usr/local/nginx/html/./ 
ftpuser2 /usr/local/nginx/html/./ 
ftpuser3 /usr/local/nginx/html/./ 
ftpuser4 /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/./ 
ftpuser6 /home/nginx/domains/sub.domain1.com/./ 
ftpuser5 /home/nginx/domains/domain2.com/./

to delete virtual FTP user

Code:

pure-pw userdel FTPUSERNAME
pure-pw mkdb

change virtual FTP user's password

Code:

pure-pw passwd FTPUSERNAME
pure-pw mkdb

show full details for an specific pure-ftpd virtual FTP user

Code:

pure-pw show FTPUSERNAME

password is encrypted

Code:

pure-pw show ftpuser5

for wordpress? what plugin ? did you read note at Pure-FTPD Virtual FTP Users - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

 

try to change virtual FTP user's password

Code (Text):

pure-pw passwd FTPUSERNAME
pure-pw mkdb

 

Did you ensure filezilla settings are set properly with passive mode as outlined at Pure-FTPD Virtual FTP Users - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

Try using winscp please client to confirm too

 

double check by trying to use winscp to connect and post screenshot of filezilla passive mode enabled and FTP over TLS just for a 2nd set of eyes on it

to clarify, did you create a new pure-ftpd user account or trying to use the one that centmin.sh menu option 2/22 created for you ?

 

ok.. tested myself and seems to work for me and can connect fine and transfer settings set passive mode with Host = your server ip

Filezilla settings

pure-pw list
pure-pw show USERNAME
ls -lahgR /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com

also check if your ip you connect from has been banned via

Code (Text):

csf -g IPADDRESS

whitelist ip if you haven't already

Code (Text):

csf -a IPADDRESS

also check your pure-ftpd logged messages in /var/log/messages

Code (Text):

awk '/pure-ftpd:/' /var/log/messages

 

settings look fine

it worked before on same server ?

see previous post for more troubleshooting steps

 

SSL for what your web site ssl certificate ? or you mean pure-ftpd self-signed ssl certificate ? the pure-ftpd self-signed ssl certificate is generated on initial centmin mod install setup already

 

No site ssl is not related to ftp
