Data FTP User
Dear Unix geeks,

I am shocked and upset that I couldn't solve the below issue.
One ftpuser was using his account for years to get data from server but reported an error today.
Code:
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.4)
Name (10.130.9.71:root): rbiftp
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/rbiftp
ftp: Login failed.
ftp> by

So I modified /etc/passwd file to some other dir and tried. Same error was returned. I deleted and recreated that user again. Still the same. No changes were done at server end.

Pls help.

It returned the same error, including the same folder? Or did the folder at least change?

On the server as root, what do you get for:
Code:
ls -lad /home/rbiftp
ls -lad /home
df -k /home

Can you log into this account with telnet?
