Pure-ftpd problem

Hello my name is Alessio.

I would like to use my machine with slitaz as ftp server.

In past used (successfully)proftpd but I cannot see it among packages.

So I installed pure-ftpd (the only one avaivable?)after having added (I think correctly)user and group I run it.

But when I try to log in with filezilla client or a browser the error is:

Comando:    USER .....

Risposta:    331 User ..... OK. Password required

Comando:    PASS ****

Risposta:    530 Login authentication failed

Errore:    Errore grave

Errore:    Impossibile collegarsi al server

It would seem an error of insert correct username and/or password, but I can assure is not. I key them right.

Has someone a suggest?? thank you

Re: Pure-ftpd problem

If you setup ftp accounts using pure-pw database:

[c]# leafpad /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd[/c]

OPTIONS="-4 -H -A -B -j -l puredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb"

leafpad => File/Save/File/Quit

Hello erjo, mojo thank you for repling me.

Nothing rilevant in /var/log/messages file.

Yes I added users using pure-pw.

I edited /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd and added the bolded string but nothing changes, same error.

Re: Pure-ftpd problem

Commit the database:

[c]# pure-pw mkdb[/c]

Verify the ftp user accounts are listed:

[c]# pure-pw list[/c]

Show a users permissions/details:

[c]# pure-pw show <login>[/c]

Shut down pure-ftpd:

[c]# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd stop[/c]

Start pure-ftpd without init script:

[c]# /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -4 -H -A -B -j -l puredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb[/c]

The -l is a lowercase -L

Re: Pure-ftpd problem

Hello again. Now works!! But I really don't know what I was mistaking. In last two days I had used ALL the commands you have suggested(except "-j -l puredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb", but today did not worked either that) with no result. Instead this evening everything works. Really thank you

I mark as solved
