Things to check Check the following first: • Make sure the user/group you specified inside the block actually exists. This must be a real user and group, as it is used to control whom the daemon runs as and authenticates as. • If RequireValidShell is not specifically turned off, make sure that your “ftp user” (as specified by the User directive inside an block), has a valid shell listed in /etc/shells. If you do not wish to give the user a valid shell, you can always use “RequireValidShell off” to disable this check. • If UseFtpUsers is not specifically turned off, make sure that your “ftp user” is not listed in /etc/ftpusers. If all else fails, you should check your syslog. When authentication fails for any reason, ProFTPD uses the syslog mechanism to log the reason for failure; using the AUTH (or AUTHPRIV) facility. If you need further assistance, you can send email, including related syslog entries and your configuration file, to the ProFTPD mailing list ment
