Hello Apache FtpServer Users,

How do I create a new user?

Background
I unzipped Apache FtpServer in c:\apache-ftpserver-1.0.0

under the resources directory is the users.properties text file
(C:\apache-ftpserver-1.0.0\res\conf\users.properties)

Using a text editor, I copied and pasted the annonymous user and changed to
a new username and password, so it looks like this

# Password is "admin"
ftpserver.user.admin.userpassword=21232F297A57A5A743894A0E4A801FC3
ftpserver.user.admin.homedirectory=./res/home
ftpserver.user.admin.enableflag=true
ftpserver.user.admin.writepermission=true

ftpserver.user.jjensen.enableflag=true
ftpserver.user.jjensen.writepermission=false
ftpserver.user.jjensen.maxloginnumber=20
ftpserver.user.jjensen.maxloginperip=2

ftpserver.user.jjensen.downloadrate=4800

ftpserver.user.anonymous.userpassword=1

ftpserver.user.anonymous.enableflag=true
ftpserver.user.anonymous.writepermission=false

ftpserver.user.anonymous.idletime=300
ftpserver.user.anonymous.uploadrate=4800
ftpserver.user.anonymous.downloadrate=4800*

The problem is I'm unable to login with the username jjensen and password
normal. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I stopped and started the Apache FtpServer ftpd service but still unable to
login. Note, I can login with the admin admin username and password.

Thanks for your assistance,
