That same sequence appears when I try any other username (that should have access to the FTP server). "meleftp" is the username that's trying to connect to the FTP server. These lines appears in system.log every time I try accessing the FTP server via Terminal:Īpr 14 09:42:03 cembserver ftpd: ACCESS DENIED (not in any class) TO 172.16.0.135 Īpr 14 09:42:03 cembserver ftpd: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (access denied) FROM 172.16.0.135, meleftp Any ideas aside from rebuilding the server from scratch?įound some more info in my error logs. It's only the FTP service that doesn't allow connections. AFP, SMB, DNS, NetBoot, and Filemaker Server all work just fine.

I did a disk repair and all is otherwise well. The only thing I can think of that changed between today and February was a power outage from a storm a couple of weeks ago. Nothing about the network or server config has changed since February. This is a server on a university network with a public-facing IP. I even set up a new account, gave it access, tried connecting, and still get the 530 error. I tried restarting the service, removing and reassigning all the users and re-propagating permissions, no go. I've tried connecting with several accounts that I know have access to the FTP server and all get the 530 error.
Ftp for dummies mac password#
We haven't used the FTP in a couple of months, but it worked perfectly back in February and I haven't made any changes to the configuration since I set it up back then.Ĭurrently, when someone tries to connect, it immediately rejects their credentials (username and password) and states: "530 error: username or password not correct".

One of the services running is FTP, which recently stopped allowing users to connect.
