pure-ftpd login problem with .08 beta

@Cr0w there's no need for such language on my forums. It's not needed and out of line.

As to error, the answer is in your quoted post

no cleartext sessions are accepted as TLS SSL is enforced for FTP mode

If you have already set FTP explicit SSL mode or forced SSL/TLS mode for FTP session and set PASV (passive) mode and still can not connect. Check post at bottom of first post Centmin Mod .08 beta + pure-ftpd virtual FTP user support | Centmin Mod Community to make sure you're using a compatible FTP client app. SecureFX and Filezilla are known working FTP client apps. There's example screenshots for both SecureFX and Filezilla at Centmin Mod .08 beta + pure-ftpd virtual FTP user support | Centmin Mod Community

Edit: solution at pure-ftpd login problem with .08 beta | Page 3 | Centmin Mod Community

 

try with Filezilla FTP client, some clients might not work

as to https, that is separate issue as you need to setup SPDY SSL as per guide at Nginx HTTPS / SSL Google SPDY configuration with your own SSL certificate

 

ah you ran into same problem Andy did at Install - Wordpress FTP access | Centmin Mod Community

see How to Update WordPress Automatically Without Using FTP [Quicktip]

so edit wp-config.php and add to very bottom of other lines

Code:

define('FS_METHOD','direct');

if you do not need https/SSL, then no need to follow that guide

 

Is another subdomain on same server or different server with different IP address ? If another server that is remote, then you need to whitelist it's IP address in CSF Firewall on Centmin Mod installed server - see CSF Firewall - Centmin Mod - Menu based Nginx installer for CentOS servers

If both local and remote server use Centmin Mod too, then both servers need each respective IP address white listed as per CSF Firewall - Centmin Mod - Menu based Nginx installer for CentOS servers

Also make sure to enable and check Passive FTP mode or it might be called PASV mode for your FTP client

If both domain and subdomain on same server, probably faster and easier to use SSH root user and move via command line

i.e. if you need to transfer images from say one /image directory to another for 2x Nginx vhosts at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/images to /home/nginx/domains/2ndnewdomain.com/public/images

would just be

Code:

cp -a /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/images /home/nginx/domains/2ndnewdomain.com/public/images

or force overwrite the destination if same images

Code:

\cp -af /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/images /home/nginx/domains/2ndnewdomain.com/public/images

Just use pure-pw commands you quoted in 1st post to change pure-ftpd password

 

What does output of command show ? can change any sensitive info to dummy info i.e. passwords, ip addresses etc

Code:

pure-pw show FTPUSERNAME

i.e.

Code:

pure-pw show mashtyha

 

hmm i think you ran into a Centmin Mod .08 pure-ftpd setup/config bug.. tried on a test install and get

Code:

ls -lah /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd
ls: cannot access /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd: No such file or directory

service pure-ftpd status
pure-ftpd (pid  7462) is running...

+------+---------+-------+------+-------------------------------------------+
| PID  |  Login  |For/Spd| What |                 File/IP                   |
+------+---------+-------+------+-------------------------------------------+

pure-pw list
Unable to open the passwd file: No such file or directory

 

Could be problem with Centmin Mod's setup of pure-ftpd or something went wrong during pure-ftpd setup.

For now, you can just log into normal SFTP mode using root user/root password if you need to. Will need to look into this
