Unable to connect using ftp
hi
I am having issues when trying to connect using ftp, I am having the following error:
Code:
User (10.100.48.73:(none)): moz
331 Password required for moza.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> by
221 Goodbye.

I have created a user like this:
Code:
useradd -g 10 -d /lam/moza -m -s /bin/bash moza

Code:
passwd moza

Code:
ftpconfig -d /lam/moza

Code:
in.ftpd -a

I did make sure that the username was in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccessfile

But I am still having that error

The network connection itself seems to work and "moz" (instead of "moza") is, i suppose, a just a typo.

A possible reason is how the system is configured to authorize user accounts: in case you have, say, LDAP users primarily it might well be that the password ftp asks for is for a (hypothetical) LDAP-user "moza" instead of the local user "moza". The same might be the case for NIS (instead of LDAP), a native kerberos-domain, and similar systems.

I hope this helps.

You need to also check the sense of the file /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess. In the config file for your FTP server, there will be several lines to describe it and it can be either an "only allow in this list" or an "exclude this list" so you will have to read what it says carefully. It can be very confusingly written.

What is the FTP server you are using? I could guess vsftpd for a Linux server, but that is not certain to be on Solaris. There is probably a pkginfo command that will list out all packages. Pipe this through grep for the string ftpd and see what you get.

Hi

I may ave missed out something, please help:
Code:

and on the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccessfile, did not see:

According to your posted session transscript i think that the ftp server is up ad running and the entry in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess is OK as well. Otherwise you shouldn't ge as far as you came.

I still think you may have a different authorisation scheme (kerberos, NIS, LDAP, ....) in place and you are not asked for a local users password but a, say, LDAP-users password, which might be quite different from what you gave to the local user.

I am no specialist in Solaris, but with this hint you should be able to investigate if this might be the case or not.

I hope this helps.

Hi

the fact that I am trying to create this ftp user on a non-global zone, does not make an issue?
