FOG FTP error
-
Hello everybody,
I am running FOG on Centos 7 and I am having an issue with my FOG server setup. After it is done doing the imaging and uploads /tmp it gives me an error that I can’t figure out. The error is “FOGFTP: Login failed. Host x.x.x.x, Username: fog, Password: xxxx, Error: ftp_login(): Please specify the password.” Sorry if this is an easy fix I am fairly new to linux and FOG. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

@Colonel16 Look through this article, and pay special attention to the “credentials” section. Let us know if you figure it out or need some help. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP

The quick things, what version of fog is this? Based on it telling username and password leads me to think it is 1.2.0? Can the fog user and password described in the error actually connect?

I use Centos 6.5 and had a similar problem. This is what was wrong with my setup.

As Wayne pointed out, you may want to look at the link he has posted, but more than likely, the issue is that fog via the UI thinks the fog user password is ‘x’. On your server, however, the fog user on Centos has a password set to ‘y’.
The way I fixed it is to cludge the passwd on either the UI side or on the Centos side to match. Stronger the password, the better if you are doing this as it can lead to outsiders who can mess with your images if you have an open network.
