I am setting up a new user let his name be ftpguy
. He has access to only one directory /var/www/xxx
. I have already chowned the directory so that he has write and read privileges. The user is also unable to login via ssh as I have disabled that by changing his shell to /sbin/nologin
.
Also, in vsftpd config, I have enabled the chroot_local_user
. Now whenever I log in from ftp, i get an auth error.
Connect socket #1008 to xxxxxxxx, port 21...
220 Welcome to blah FTP service.
USER ftpguy
331 Please specify the password.
PASS **********
530 Login incorrect.
I changed the password to something different several times, using the passwd command, nothing happens, i still the above error.
However I am able to log in with my ssh creditals to my ftp server without any problems.(I do not use a key).
