    Hi!

    So i've got a problem with the FTP server. I created my nginx vhost via menu option #2 - in the centmin menu, and while that's working fine. I can't login to the FTP server.

    I'm using the auto generated password for logging in. And connecting via the domain, assigned to the vhost. This is the Filezilla log:

    Code:
    Status:    TLS connection established.
Command:    USER dev-sno
Response:    331 User dev-sno OK. Password required
Command:    PASS *********************
Response:    530 Login authentication failed
Error:    Critical error: Could not connect to server
    I have accepted the custom ssl certificate in filezilla.

    Anyone that has an idea what i should do? Thanks.

    Which version of centmin mod are you using ? 123.08 or 123.09beta01 ? There are a few bugs with the auto generated passwords having characters that pure-ftpd doesn't accept but i believe i already fixed them. But could be others.
    • Did you make sure to enable explicit TLS/SSL mode and enable PASV passive mode like in 1st post here.
    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

Login : ftpuser5
Password : $1$msgfvdN0$51dhLdPGiCQpQEwtZ30kF1
UID : 500 (nginx)
GID : 500 (nginx)
Directory : /home/nginx/domains/domain2.com/./

    Let me know if changing the password for your pure-ftpd virtual username works and allows you to connect. If it works, can you share the old non-working password here so I can see if i need to filter out other characters.

    That means your username/password is wrong.

    Run
    Code:
    pure-pw passwd dev-sno
    to change your ftp password for the user "dev-sno".
    Then after that, run
    Code:
    pure-pw mkdb
    to write the changes to the database and try again.
    (Do not copy/past passwords as that is likely to add some whitespace which results in an invalid pass.

    Edit: too slow, can't beat eva :(

    @Ahmad - Thanks anyway mate! :)

    @eva2000 - Thanks for post, will check out those threads for sure.
    I'm running 1.2.3-eva2000.08

    I changed the password on the user, using a combination of letters and numbers. But still face the same error. FileZilla is setup to require explicit FTP over TLS, and set to PASV mode.

    Also tried restarting pure-ftp, but didn't change anything. What's the path to the pure-ftp log file? Maybe that has some clues.

    Heureka! I solved the problem.

    It was the auto generated password that was the issue. I changed it, but didn't write the
    Code:
    pure-pw mkdb
    command.

    Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it. :)

    @eva2000 - It was:

    Code:
    fkaBNiu9cZpujKR7vDMoz
    Strange it didn't work, as it only consists of small/big letters and numbers.

    It happens sometimes when you double click to copy/paste the password, it marks whitespace at the end/front too and copies it.
    Really nothing you can do about this, other than copying carefully.

    Could be the encoding, but dosen't quite make sense as i copied all the default messages after the install completed. Cant really notice any errors, but oh well. Magic Leprechauns in the computer again lol. :p

    It happened to me but I cannot remember on which OS it happens (windows 8/10, ubuntu or debian).
    I don't think it was ubuntu/debian but cannot say for sure.
