Operating Systems Solaris Why is sftp working but ftp not Post 302666075 by methyl on Tuesday 3rd of July 2012 04:40:45 PM

The error response in post #1 just looks like a wrong password. Beware that some passwords which are valid unix passwords are not valid in ftp (even for the same account). Typical issues are passwords containing Shell special characters or passwords longer than 8 characters (6 characters on old systems).

Afterthought: You did type the password to account manni2 rather than just hit the return key?

NAME
ncsa_auth - NCSA httpd-style password file authentication helper for Squid SYNOPSIS
ncsa_auth passwdfile DESCRIPTION
ncsa_auth allows Squid to read and authenticate user and password information from an NCSA/Apache httpd-style password file when using basic HTTP authentication. The only parameter is the password file. It must have permissions to be read by the user that Squid is running as (cache_effective_user in squid.conf). This password file can be manipulated using htpasswd. * MD5 - with optional salt and magic strings * DES - for passwords 8 characters or less in length OPTIONS
Only specify the password file name. EXAMPLE
ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass SECURITY
ncsa_auth must have access to the password file to be executed. KNOWN ISSUES
DES functionality (used by htpasswd by default) silently truncates passwords to 8 characters. Allowing login with password values shorter than the one desired. This authenticator will reject login with long passwords when using DES. SEE ALSO
