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:
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.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 08:26. Server port: 2121.
220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
User (192.168.100.120:(none)): customer1
331 User customer1 OK. Password required
Password:
530 Login authentication failed
Login failed.

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:
Restarting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-virtualchroot -l pam -l extauth:/tmp/pureftpd.sock -S 0.0.0.0,2121 -H -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -Y 2 -8 UTF-8 -E -u 1000 -a 100 -p 50000:51000 -B

  • Give me an advise how to make virtual users on ReadyNAS 1500. If it possible by using internal proFTP daemon I will try to setup it. If it is impossible I will continue to fight with PureFTP. I really need help.
  • I haven't used Pure directly, so I'm just going on what I've read. Can you try what I posted up above, using '--verboselog' in the start of Pure, so it logs more details? That's probably the only way to figure out why it responds with '530 Login authentication failed'.
  • Did you solve it?

    In VsFTPd these settings must be enabled for user write access.
    local_enable = YES
    write_enable = YES

    It might be the same for PureFTPd.

    And remember to restart the service.
  • I can't find the x86 install file for PureFTPd since WhoCares web site went down. Anyone out there have it already downloaded and willing to share with me?
