    Hello,

    I would like to create a new FTP user ‘fogbackup’. Lock (jail) on own home directory.

    Install: Debian 9 + FOG Project 1.5.4

    I use:

    useradd fogbackup 
    passwd fogbackup
    usermod -d /home/fogbackup/ fogbackup
    service vsftp restart
    

    Use FTP client (WinSCP from MS Windows) and can’t login: authentication error.
    I read wiki: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP
    And as FOG user i can login successful.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for help

      @Valer said in New FTP user:

      useradd fogbackup

      That command does not create the user’s home directory (it does if you would have added the -m parameter). The following might do the trick:

      mkdir /home/fogbackup/
      chown fogbackup:fogbackup /home/fogbackup/
      

      If not then run tail -f /var/log/auth.log while trying to log in via FTP. This should give us some more information on why it does not allow the user to authenticate.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

        Solution my problem:

        1. tips of Sebastian Roth:
        mkdir /home/fogbackup/
        chown fogbackup:fogbackup /home/fogbackup/
        
        1. change config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
        vsftpd_log_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
        log_ftp_protocol=YES
        allow_writeable_chroot=YES
        chroot_local_user=YES
        chroot_list_enable=YES
        chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
        rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
        rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
        ssl_enable=YES
        force_local_data_ssl=NO
        force_local_logins_ssl=NO
