I cannot log in via FTP to this system. Filezilla gives:-

Command: USER userftp
Response: 331 Password required for userftp
Command: PASS *******
Response: 530 Login incorrect.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server

I can log in using the 'userftp' account
It's obviously something I'm not setting correctly. ProFTPd.conf is here.

I've tried googling and it's not the firewall as there isn't one. It could be pam authentication, but I don't want to use that, just usual unix account stuff.

Any help appreciated

Well I gave up, emerged vsftp 3.0 and got that to work.

I used the following, if anyone's interested

#emerge --autounmask-write =net-ftp/vsftpd-3.0.0
#dispatch-conf
#emerge =net-ftp/vsftpd-3.0.0

Then I used the config from:- http://wjholden.com/vsftpd-help.html, parts 5 and 6

I added in 'allow_writeable_chroot=YES' the the end of vsftp.conf as I want to write to the ftp root directory.

All happy.
