I am desperate for help

• 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.
• If you are having trouble with logging in using the generated pure-ftpd username and password, you can try changing the password for the pure-ftpd username with instructions outlined at Pure-FTPD Virtual FTP Users - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS
• Check if you're ISP IP address is being blocked by CSF Firewall. See FAQ items 40 & 41.

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 (Text):

pure-pw list

Code (Text):

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 (Text):

pure-pw userdel FTPUSERNAME
pure-pw mkdb

change virtual FTP user's password

Code (Text):

pure-pw passwd FTPUSERNAME
pure-pw mkdb

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

Code (Text):

pure-pw show FTPUSERNAME

Code (Text):

pure-pw show ftpuser5

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

 

you using 123.09beta01 ? as the correct directory should be /usr/local/src/centminmod/

 

some screenshots for filezilla settings at Pure-FTPD Virtual FTP Users - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

 

Great to hear

which directory did you change to and from ?
