Fogftp login failed
-
Hi guys,
I’m creating a new thread because I can’t upload an image to my FOG Server. This time I have this error :
Error: ftp_login failed. Error ftp_login(): Please specify the password. FOGFTP: Login Failed.Is there a file in which I have to put the ftp password for FOG ?
Thank you!
-
I’m pretty sure troubleshooting this is either in the wiki and/or on these forums. I know I even gave suggestions as early as yesterday.
Go to Storage Management Page.
Choose your relative node.
Scroll to the bottom of that edit page. You will see Management Username and Management Password.
Click the Eye on the password, this should be the password set for FTP that fog is trying to use.
Try using this pair through a FTP client. Are there errors?
-
You can find these settings within the web interface: Storage Management -> Storage Node Settings -> Management Username/Password…
-
The password in the Web GUI for my relative node is the same as the password in lib/fog/Config.class.php. In this file, I defined my password : define(‘STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD’, “MY_PASSWORD”);
I found this post but it does not help me : [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fogftp-ftp_login-failed-at-the-end-of-imaging.10437/[/url]
-
Try connecting via ftp command line client for testing using those credentials. Does that work for you?
-
Yes, when I try to connect from another computer using ftp, it works, I have a login successful.
And in the log I can see : [fog] OK LOGIN: Client “192.12.59.19”
-
Re-reading your first post I am a bit confused about the error message because that’s exactly the message your get when you try logging into FTP just after you provided the username. See here:
[CODE]$ ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 (vsFTPd 2.3.5)
Name (127.0.0.1:fog): fog
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
…[/CODE]
Please douple check the username too! But I really wonder why this would cause ftp_login to fail?? -
Hi Uncle Frank, thank you for your patience.
I can access to my tftp server from another computer. I have a login successful.
The problem is that when I upload my image to my FOG server, everything is ok but this upload is stuck at 99% everytime. Attached a screenshot.

What tftp server? Tftp and FTP are two completely different things.
The message, as I’m seeing it, says that the password is not set. This tells me the storage Management password isn’t set properly.
-
Sorry for this confusion, I meant that I could access to my ftp server.
On my FOG server I do : ftp localhost
I have a login successful :
ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
220 (vsFTPd 3.0.2)
Name (localhost:root): fog
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.I’m sure that the storage management password is set properly. This password is the same as the fog user password on my server.
Is there a file in /var/www/html/fog/ in which I can write the password directly ?Here the content of my /etc/exports file :
/data/images/ *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1,)
/data/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)
/data/ 192.12.59.0/24(rw)In the WEB GUI, my default storage is /data/images, did I make a mistake ?
-
There is no file used so sure, you can specify it in any file you want, but it will not work.
How are you sure it’s set properly? You’ve actually looked at the storage node from Storage Management Page, clicked the eye on the Password field? I know this is probably already what you’ve done, but it seems strange that it’s not even passing the password for you, when this is where it gets that password to begin with.
-
I’m sure that this password is set properly. Attached a screenshot of the Web GUI.
so “mypassword” is my storage management password and my fog user password.[url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/1/1728_FullSizeRender(2).jpg?:”]FullSizeRender(2).jpg[/url]
-
So the screen that’s stating the “Please Specify a password” is it showing a password? Can you create download tasks?
What version of fog are you running?
-
Yes it is showing the password “mypassword”.
I can create download tasks (you can see on the screenshot that the upload is stuck at 99%).
Attached 2 screenshots
I’m using fog 1.2.0.

Are the folder permissions correct?
[code]sudo chmod -R 777 /images/[/code]
-
The folder permissions are correct (chmod -R 777 already done).
When I run :systemctl status vsftpd.service -l
I have :

You guys where pretty active today!
Two things that came to my mind when reading all the posting from today:
[LIST]
[]Several vsftpd instances running? Maybe that’s causing trouble? Have you killed (service vsftpd stop; killall -9 vsftpd) and restarted vsftpd?
[]On that last screenshot where you can see the password there seam to be two spaces after ‘mypassword’ before the comma. I haven’t checked the code yet but I’d suppose there aren’t any spaces printed in that error message. Make sure there are NO spaces in that password…
[/LIST] -
Thank you Uncle Frank
I killed vsftpd and now I only have one instance.
Very weird for the spaces after “mypassword”. Effectively I did a tcpdump and I saw that there are 2 spaces after the password. FOG adds spaces, why ? :eek: I’m sure that there are no spaces in the Web GUI. I changed the fog user password (adding spaces) on the server and it worked!
-
Well everything worked for a while (upload and deployment) but now I’m unable to upload and deploy.
I register the client (quick registration).
Create an image
Associate a client to an image
Create the task and rebootAnd the upload does not start (attached a screenshot of what I see).

When you see the boot menu there is no task for this host…
