I am now setting up the proFTP on my slack 10 as ftp service, but everytime I logged into it from a remote machine, say a windows-based machine, I am always denied access into it and proFTP always say that my password is incorrect, even though im 100% sure that my log in info is correct.
I tried removing the word "ftp" on the /etc/ftpusers file. but i still get the same error message that login is failed:
------------
C:\>ftp 172.23.88.251

now inside my /etc/ftpusers file:

#
# ftpusers This file describes the names of the users that may
# _*NOT*_ log into the system via the FTP server.
# This usually includes "root", "uucp", "news" and the
# like, because those users have too much power to be
# allowed to do "just" FTP...

My proftp in Slak wouldn't let me log in as anyone with a null shell (except maybe the ftp user but I have anon logins off.) Maybe you are running into the same thing? To test anonymous login log in to the ftp server with username anonymous or ftp and password being anything with an @ and a . in it such as test@nohost.com or whatever. You could also log in using a user/pass that has a valid local system login (I only recomend this over your local LAN.)
Here's the copied and pasted /etc/proftpd.conf file...
Please, please let me know what might be the problem and what should i do...
Thanks a lot!!!
