When I connect I get the following error even though the password is correct:

1. [kvijay@smi-cluster01 ~]$ ftp machineName
2. Connected to machineName.Stanford.EDU.
3. 220 (vsFTPd 2.0.5)
4. 530 Login incorrect.
5. 331 Please specify the password.
6. Password:
7. Name (isearch:kvijay): kvijay
8. Any idea what is the problem? I have the vsftpd daemon running, but this error persists? Does vsftpd support regular ftp (port 21) or only secure ftp? If it supports regular ftp, any idea what settings I need to fix to remove this problem? If not, can you recommend some ftp server easy to download and install.
9. Login failed.
10. 530 Please login with USER and PASS.
11. KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
12. vsftp uses port 21, but you might need connection tracking enabled for the firewall, and check tcp_wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow, and /etc/hosts.deny)
    add a line like this to /etc/hosts.allow, to allow connection form the local subnet:
    vsftpd: 192.168.0.
    or to allow all connections
    vsftpd: ALL

    If you're using iptables add port 21, and also add connection tracking.
    iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -p tcp –dport 21 -j ACCEPT
    service iptables save
    modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
    then in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config file:
    add
    IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack…

    Look in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
    If you have
    local_enable=NO
    then users can't login.

    Try connecting as an anonymous user.

    For security info check the redhat manuals online

    vsftp is the recommended program. It just takes a little configuration.
