Howdy,
Do you see any errors in /var/log/secure while trying to log in via FTP?
-Eric
Hi Eric Thank you, because I had no idea of what log file looking for...
This is the 'secure' entries for last failed proftd login:
Jun 5 16:19:10 barcelona proftpd: PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_stack.so Jun 5 16:19:10 barcelona proftpd[5054]: 94.23.46.xxx (82.84.129.237[82.84.129.xxx]) - USER carlo (Login failed): Incorrect password.
I checked password several times, and I'm absolutely sure that the password is correct.
Please, note that SSH login works perfectly with same username/password
Some hints, please? I would greatly appreciate it... My server is useless without FTP :-((
Are you by chance using a ProFTPd version from a third party repository?
You can determine that by running this command:
rpm -qa | grep proftpI'm not sure why you'd see the behavior you're seeing there with the default software... but if ProFTPd came from another repo, that might explain things, as we've seen some strange behaviors in that circumstance.

Hi there
the result is:
proftpd-1.3.4a-1.el6.rf.x86_64
I don't know what repo Webmin used for update.
I'm in a great trouble as my server become unusable..
Howdy,
Ah, that ProFTPd package is from the RPMForge repository... that's a third party repository, and could cause the problem you're seeing. People have reported problems with that in the past.
What we'd recommend doing is to disable the RPMForge repository (as well as any other non-default repositories), and then install the version of ProFTPd that comes from Virtualmin in place of the one you have there.
That should resolve the issue you're seeing.
-Eric
Hi Eric thank you for your help. Well, I'm going to disable RPMForge repository. After this is done, what's the best way to force Webmin to reinstall or upgrade or downgrade ProFTPd ? Thank you!
Done and solved!!
Now it's
proftpd-1.3.3g-2.el6.x86_64
Thank you very much Eric, I have a debt with you :-)
Cheers
Carlo
Super, I'm glad you got it working!
Following on from this, I had a very similar issue, with the same repos
I have followed this but now get a timeout error when I try and connect.

Set PassivePorts in proftpd.conf and allowed them through the firewall and all is rosy!
not working for me yet proftpd-1.3.3g-2.el6.x86_64 in virtualmin
resolved, by changing IP of virtualhost inside proftpd.conf to dedicated IP since the site was moved to dedicated
