Hi guys,
I've installed ProFTP and configured, proftpd is up and running but I'm having problem loggin in, says 530 Authentication failed.

have created a username called: ftpjd, usergroup is ftp-users, have added the user to the usergroup, and set the password for the user. Why it says that authentication failed? What am i doing wrong here?

TIA =)

this is my proftpd.conf file:

Code:

#
#       proftpd config file
#
#

ServerName                      "coolies.com"
ServerType                        standalone
DeferWelcome                    off

ShowSymlinks                    on
MultilineRFC2228                on
DefaultServer                   on
ShowSymlinks                    on
AllowOverwrite                  on
RequireValidShell               off
#ShowDotFiles                   off
#ShowSymlinks                   off
MaxClientsPerHost               1 "You are already logged on once."

LogFormat                       traff "%b %u"

TimeoutNoTransfer               600
TimeoutStalled                  600
TimeoutIdle                     1200

DisplayLogin                    welcome.msg
DisplayFirstChdir               .message
#ListOptions                "-l"

DenyFilter                      \*.*/

DefaultRoot                     ~

# Uncomment this if you are using NIS or LDAP to retrieve passwords:
#PersistentPasswd               off

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port                            21

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30.  If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value.  Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)

MaxInstances                    10
# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.

User                            ftpjd
Group                          ftp-users

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.

<Directory /*>
  # Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new files and dirs
  # (second parm) from being group and world writable.
  Umask                         022  022

  AllowOverwrite                on
  HideNoAccess on

</Directory>

<Limit ALL>
  IgnoreHidden on
</Limit>

<Global>
        TransferLog                     /var/log/xferlog
        ExtendedLog                     /var/log/ftp_traff.log read,write traff
        PathDenyFilter "\.quota$"
</Global>

<IfModule mod_delay.c>
DelayEngine off
</IfModule>
