FTP User Creation Issue

[metziel]

When I create new FTP users inside my DirectAdmin installation, they never seem to allow me to login.

For instance, I create asd@domain.com with the password "asd" and attempt to login. The server consistently states "Login Incorrect."

I have no changed any DirectAdmin settings or ProFTPd settings. I have, however, upgraded to PHP 5, but I turned on PHP 4 compatibility mode and continued to allow short tags. I additionally looked at the ftp.passwd file inside the user account, and the user was successfully created. It seems to me that the password creation is not working, or something of the sort. What can I do to rectify this situation?

Are you logging in correctly? If you create asd@domain.com then the login is the entire asd@domain.com and not just asd.

If you're doing this and you still have problems then you're going to have to have a knowledgeable systems administrator look into your system to figure it out.

The issue lay in a ProFTPD problem; it cannot, for some reason, run on the same IP as my main server in my setup, a VPS. I solved the issue by mapping an "ftp" subdomain to a different IP address connected to my server.
