I'm trying to set up proftpd to run some tests (not production, lab tests) and would like it to accept users and root user.
According to the manual proftpd uses the system user list.
However all my attempts to log in as any user (root or not) return
530 Login incorrect
(Needless to say the credentials are in fact correct.)
Following tips I found on the web I've tried (in proftpd.conf):
1) Comment out
#User ftp
#Group nogroup
2) Add
UseFtpUsers off
to no avail.
