So today I tried uploading a php doc to my server and noticed that I kept getting failed attempts. I have tried a couple of possible solutions on vestacp forums. Here is what I tried so far:
- Adding "/usr/sbin/nologin" to the doc "/etc/shells" - Did not work
- Edited the vsftpd.conf and altered "pam_service_name=ftp" - broke it more and now says cannot establish connection I did switch it back but still says no connection
I'm running centos 7.5. The last thing i did with my server was add postgreSQL to the server. Which i read on here before installing that database engine that should not disturb vesta.
What ever information yalls need I will get it for you, I just want my ftp back ahaha

UPDATE: I have connection back now throwing 530 errors again (Login Incorrect)
I think it was due to the number of failed login attempts but still having issue.

So after trying multiple things I finally found the fix to the issue!
Navigate and open with text editor
Once in there you will see this:
Code: Select all
#%PAM-1.0
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/vsftpd/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth required pam_shells.so
auth include password-auth
account include password-auth
session required pam_loginuid.so
session include password-auth
In that file you want to comment out one line:
You should no longer get 530 login errors. I think the problem was I did a server update and it must have reconfigured that file?
