I'm trying to set up an FTP connection to the server. I am using DYNDNS and have it set up and I'm able to find the machine.

The problem is that I can't log on to it. Every user name and password I put in does not work.

Is there a place to set up the log in information for the FTP service?

Thanks.

I'm having similar issue. My guess its a user rights problem, somewhere...

My users work fine from "normal windows" via CIFS. But if I try to connect via FTP, I get "530 Login incorrect" on every user inclusive the admin account. (only locally via IP)

[edit]
Oh, and I have the same problem via SSH, from the winscp logfile i get these returns, maybe they'll help identify the problem.
Code:
. 2011-06-08 12:51:22.955 Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available
* 2011-06-08 12:51:22.960 (ESshFatal) Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available

found the problem, for my case atleast.

It was the "Home Directory" default "/nonexistent" that caused the error. setting it to my mount name "/mnt/jcube1/" and suddenly ftp accepts my login details.

Okay,

So I have been able to log in through FTP as long as I'm on the local network and go to the local address "ftp://192.168.1.9:port#"

Now when I try to log in through my DYNDNS address and enter the same log in info it won't pull up the files.
It sees the machine and asks for a user and password and seems to take it but then nothing.
I can't seem to get to the directory.

I'm having the same issue as loweredhemi where if I disable anon access, I can login but can't see any of the folders or files in the home directory. Anyone found a solution for that issue?

EDIT: I was able to get it working both with local users and active directory users. The permissions on my home directories were wrong. Fixing them fixed the issue.
