PureFTPd 1.0.31 (WhoCares?) 530 Login authentication failed
I have ReadyNAS 1500 and my goal is to provide ftp access to our customer by creating many virtual users with different rights. I have installed PureFTPd (http://readynasxtras.com/readynas-x86-add-ons/pureftpd-1031-virtual-user-manager-x86). I've done it as on video, step by step. But I have a problem - virtual users can't connect to ftp. Firstly I got the message:
To solve it I install " Enable Root SSH Access" and run the command:
Now I have another error:
The password is 100% correct. I can't find any corresponding logs on ReadyNAS and I don't understand what to do. Please help me.
PS. My PureFTPd start string:
425 sorry invalid address given
To solve it I install " Enable Root SSH Access" and run the command:
echo ‘yes’ > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DontResolve
Now I have another error:
ftp> open 192.168.100.120 2121
Connected to 192.168.100.120.

- It took a very long time for me to get ProFTPd on my ReadNAS to work, this might be the same for PureFTPd.
Mostly because of one wrong default setting in /etc/proftpd.conf. It should be:AllowForeignAddress on
See my full post:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=49034 - In my /etc/proftpd.conf this setting is on:
# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 9921
MasqueradeAddress 194.18.21.133
DynMasqRefresh 7200
PassivePorts 50000 51000
AllowForeignAddress on
As I understand, it refers to main FTP settings, not PureFTPd. My main FTP port is 9921, not 21 - Hmm
Have you set up the router correctly?
On some routers you have to make a virtual-FTP server in the router settings. And off course forward the ports to the nas. - Router isn't guilty. I've tried in local network too (
- FTP is old and stable but it can be really tricky to setup.
Have you tried different FTP clients and with both passive and active mode when connecting?
Did PureFTPd work better than ProFTPd (the preinstalled server on ReadyNAS) as a server?
As you can see in my research there are a lot of settings you can alter in the .conf files. - The main idea is to make a group of users (for example custormer01, custormer02, ..., custormer70) with individual login/password. Each customer should have access to their own directory (customer01 ... customer70) with view and read rights (to download only). Other group of users (for example coworker01 ... coworker10) should have the access their own directory with view, write, read rights. It is possible we will need a special group of users (special01 ... special10) with view only rights. I found that the PureFTPd can solve my task. But I can't setup it a lot of time. I'm ready to delete PureFTPd and try to do it with some other ftp daemon. Please, give me an advice what to do.
- You sound confident. But just to be sure, have you looked in:
Frontview > Security > User & Group Accounts > Preferences (in the far right drop down list)
I messed that one, when my nas was new.
Otherwise you need to PM the admins of the board. - I don't see what PMing the admins of the board would accomplish. If anything, he should contact the add-on author, or look at PureFTPd community for help.
Should try adding '--verboselog' to the start string, so you can get some real details why users get auth failed. - This is my preferences page. What's wrong?
- This thread is about PureFTP, nothing in that Prefs page is related to this. Anything at most there would be related to ProFTP the built in server. If your issues are with ProFTP, I suggest you make a separate forum thread.
