centos 5 proftpd issue

[ranjitcool]

Hey Guys,

firstly i donno why centos5 doesnt have a yum which has proftpd ?

So i downloaded and complied it.

I am trying to build a webserver, so i am using webmin. i set al the config stuff in webmin to use proftpd but some how it keeps giving me 530 login incorrect i donno why!

i thought it might be to do with something liek denyall in the config files but it doesnt seem so.

here is the config file.

# 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 "RJ server"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21

# Don't use IPv6 support by default.
UseIPv6 off

# 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 nobody
Group nobody

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
#DefaultRoot ~

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
AllowOverwrite on

# Bar use of SITE CHMOD by default
<Limit SITE_CHMOD>
DenyAll
</Limit>

# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories. If you do not
# want anonymous users, simply delete this entire <Anonymous> section.
<Anonymous ~ftp>
User ftp
Group ftp

# 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.

DisplayChdir .message

# Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
