VSFTPD virtual users with ssl can't login (error 530 filezilla)
by lamousis from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4T8NS)
Hello everyone
I have a Debian 8 system and i wanted to install an ftp server using vsftp
I wanted to use ssl on the server and it was working ok using local users
What i wanted was not to use local but virtual users instead.
So i created a used the default ftp user (with home /srv/ftp) and then created the virtual users. For the password i used htpasswd (Code:sudo htpasswd -cd /etc/vsftpd/.passwd virtual1)
I created the virtual users home directories (/srv/ftp/virual1)
I edited the /etc/vsftpd.conf to look like this
Code:#virtual users
hide_ids=YES
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=ftp
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
local_root=/srv/ftp/$USER
user_sub_token=$USERWhen i tried to login through filezilla i get error 530 login incorrect
I've searched googled, but no solution!
Is there a problem with ssl? It won't work with virtual users?
Can anyone help?
Thanks!!!
