Can't login via FTP / Create new FTP users

[davvve]

I've got a little problem on one of my new cpanel servers. Users can't connect via FTP.

It seems as it's impossible to create new FTP users through the CPanel interface too. I get this error when trying to add a FTP user:

I also get this when trying to switch from pureftp to proftp:

I have submited Ticket about that problem 10 days ago and no one replied me yet !

[davvve]

Submitted one yesterday... Last time it took about 4 days to get a reply I believe.

Hi

I had the same problem and I could solve it.

just please tell me is this a new CPANEL installation or it is a loaded server?

[H2Hosting.com]

The same problem!!! I cannot login to my own account via FTP even if I change the password
a) from root "passwd username"
b) from Cpanel
c) from WHM


It should be fixed ASAP!

[Drew Nichols]

Did anyone ever figure this out? It's doing it for me too.

[radwulf]

Same here... changing the account password in CPanel will not change the ftp password.

Also, I can't seem to be able to create new ftp accounts in CPanel.

[jeroman8]

Same here !!

Support ticket not solved - about 7-8 weeks old !!

Is everyone with this problem using FreeBSD ?

[Drew Nichols]

This is on Linux for me.

[Lamar]

Same problem here on a new server. I think I will open a ticket.

Anyone ever seen a resolution on this? I'm having this issue as well.

On my server Proftpd used the wrong config file.
Seems there is 2 of them, don't know if this is/was
a Freebds problem only but it's worth checking it out !?

After it was changed to the correct config everything worked,
I think, Cpanel fixed it.

Well I'm using pureftpd so perhaps that is the problem.
