I just built and installed proFTPd with Porticus, then went to configure it with Webmin. As soon as I told Webmin where the executable and the config files were (/opt/local/sbin and /o/l/etc), it showed a button to start proFTPd. I did, tried to log in from another host (Linux) on the LAN, and you're right. It doesn't work: > g...@lanserver:~$ ftp asw > Connected to air.slsware.wif. > 220 ProFTPD 1.3.2c Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [192.168.3.160] > Name (asw:root): ghe > 331 Password required for ghe > Password: > 530 Login incorrect. > Login failed. > Remote system type is UNIX. > Using binary mode to transfer files. > ftp> bye > 221 Goodbye. So I downloaded pureFTPd from: http://www.versiontracker.com/php/dlpage.php?id=45509&db=mac&pid=45509&kind=&lnk=http%3A%2F%2Fjeanmatthieu.free.fr%2Fpureftpd%2Fpkg%2FPureFTPd-Manager-1.8.dmg It's also an FTP server of some repute. I had to 'touch' a log file for it, but after that, it was happy (Snow Leopard) and did a login: > g...@lanserver:~$ ftp asw > Connected to air.slsware.wif. > 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ---------- > 220-Local time is now 13:39.

It's almost certainly possible to get proFTPD going, but this one is a lot less trouble, and it's got a good reputation. ProFTPD's log file says it can't bind to port 21. I suspect something's bent in the port because it can, and it does. It just can't seem to verify a password. PureFTPd comes with a GUI manager/initial configger, too. Nice, but mildly frustrating way to spend a snowy Sunday morning.
