pam_service_name=ftp

pasv_addr_resolve=YES
pasv_min_port=6000
pasv_max_port=7000

now while I am try to login with filezilla to a local user that exists in the /etc/passwd I recv 

Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Status: Verifying certificate...
Status: TLS connection established.
Command:    USER test

  • If you run `ps aux | grep vsftpd` do you see vsftpd using the correct config file? – Bob Dole Apr 12 '19 at 22:00
  • the output is `root 687 0.0 0.2 8340 4428 ? Ss 01:38 0:00 /usr/bin/vsftpd` but I am using the default configuration file at `/etc/vsftpd.conf` and I sure it uses it because I am using `ssl` and `filezilla` managed to connect with `ssl` – dsal3389 Apr 12 '19 at 22:47
  • Is that your entire configuration? Do you have a line for `anonymous_enable=NO`? Try stopping the running vsftpd process, confirming you can't connect, then launching it by running the command `vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf`. – Bob Dole Apr 12 '19 at 23:06
  • yes I have this line (`anonymous_enable=NO`) and I have stop `vsftpd.service` and run `vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf` and im getting the same output from `filezilla` (`Response: 530 Login incorrect.`) – dsal3389 Apr 12 '19 at 23:39
  • Can you login from the server that's running vsftpd by running `ftp localhost`? – Bob Dole Apr 14 '19 at 00:26
  • nope still same messages while running `ftp localhost` (after disabling the `ssl`) – dsal3389 Apr 14 '19 at 08:21
  • Check the solution here - https://askubuntu.com/questions/413677/vsftpd-530-login-incorrect, check your pam.d rules – Bob Dole Apr 16 '19 at 19:27
  • my users not in `/etc/pam.d/vsftpd` or `/etc/ftpusers` and the users shell exists in `/etc/shells` so there is no problem with that too – dsal3389 Apr 18 '19 at 07:11
  • Is your /etc/pam.d/vsftpd configured with a deny access list or an allow access list? If you disable the SSL options in vsftpd, does it work at all? – Bob Dole Apr 18 '19 at 18:10
