Hmm. So Security would prefer the use of protocols that send passwords as plain text, rather than encrypted??? Would these crocodiles happen to live next door to a zeeba? On 22/03/2011 1:17 PM, Kevin McGregor wrote:
Thanks for the suggestion, Gilles. Alas, getting Security at the City to allow SSH out is like pulling teeth from a very hungry crocodile -- I'd like to avoid both. I'd totally prefer SSH, but it's not an option.

Also check your userlist_* options in vsftpd.conf. If userlist_enable is YES, then make sure the login name you're using isn't in the user_list file (or is if userlist_deny=NO). You may want to check the PAM configuration as well, as it can add another layer, and another allow/deny list as it does on RHEL systems.
You could also enable the dual_log_enable and syslog_enable options, as this may give you a bit more feedback in your logs to help get to the bottom of this.
If all else fails, install/enable sshd and switch from FTP to SFTP. ;-)
