Hello, Im creating new ftp user account through Vesta, and when I try to login with it, it asks for ssh key (I disabled password auth for all users).

Now I wanted to ssh-ed to my main user, tried to switch to new ftp user and it says:
This account is currently not available.
Where is that new user located, and how I can add new ssh key so that account can actually be used ?

Help is appreciated.

Tbh, I'm not sure how to solve this.. I just wanna allow ftp account to be used by people to upload files without giving them too many permissions..

How to do that ?

I also allowed password logins, still no luck.

How do you guys use ftp account ?

By just using it for example with filezilla, by default you should be able to connect without any troubles. just using servername/ip, user, password and port 21.

Im using WinSCP as an ftp client, and it just won't work, even with standard settings as you mentioned. Returns access denied. I'm using credentials I got in email, so I'm pretty sure they are correct.

Any ideas ?

I just tried with filezilla:

Code: Select all

Response:	331 Please specify the password.
Command:	PASS ********
Response:	530 Login incorrect.
Error:	Critical error: Could not connect to server
Like password is not ok.

When I save password inside vesta panel and open web server again, password is not shown there even in hidden format, but I guess that is ok ?
