Hi. I read the gentoo guide for the configuration of proftp but I'm not able to make it work. I followed the instructions, but I don't know why I don't have the /home/username directory. If I try to use kbear to connect to the ftp I get:

Code:
 220 ProFTPD 1.2.10 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [82.51.130.27]
 user ftp
 331 Password required for ftp.
 pass [protected]
 530 Login incorrect.


The access is anonymous, so the password shouldn't be a problem no?
This is the config file I wrote:

Code:
# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

ServerName          "ProFTPD Default Installation"
#ServerType          standalone
DefaultServer       on
RequireValidShell   off
AuthPAM             off
AuthPAMConfig       ftp
# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port            21

# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask            022

# 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         30

# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User            luca
Group            users

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
  AllowOverwrite      on
</Directory>

# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories.
<Anonymous ~ftp>
  User            ftp
  Group            ftp
  AnonRequirePassword  on

  # We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp"
  UserAlias         anonymous ftp

  # Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins
  MaxClients         10

  # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed
  # in each newly chdired directory.
  DisplayLogin         welcome.msg
  DisplayFirstChdir      .message

  # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
  <Limit WRITE>
    DenyAll
  </Limit>

</Anonymous>


Does someone have any idea of what could I have made wrong?
Thanks.

Ok. Solved by myself. It was a problem of permissions with the user. Now, everything works fine. I solved following this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?postid=1176014 .
