iBay FTP problem with 6.0b3
« on: October 23, 2003, 10:11:47 PM »
Hello,

I have a fresh 6.0b3 with all updates applied today.
I want to have ftp-access to some of the iBays.
What I've done:
 - ServerManager: Remote Access: FTP access: Allow only from local netw.
 - ServerManager: Remote Access: FTP password access: Accept only from local netw.
 - Groups: "somegroup" -> members: "someone"
 - iBays: "ftp1": group: "somegroup", write:group read:group, public access: local with password, dynamic:disabled
 - I reset the passw. for the iBay to 123.

The manual (http://edocs.mitel.com/6000_SME_Server/6.0/6040_Admin_Guide_En/6040_admin_guide_en.pdf) says:

If you select Password Required, users who connect to the i-bay via FTP or HTTP will be prompted to
supply that particular i-bay's username and password. The username is always the name of the i-bay
and the password is whatever the administrator assigns to that i-bay - not the individual user's password.
Note that, as with user accounts, i-bay accounts are locked by default. If a password is required,
users will not be able to access the i-bay until the administrator sets the password.

The Problem is: I cannot login. Connection works. Login fails.
I startet some ftp client (FileZilla from a Windows-Notebook on the same network) and provided my servers ip adress, ftp1 as the username and 123 as the password. It doesn't work:

 530-Unable to set anonymous privileges.
 530 Login incorrect.

The console on the server says:

Oct 23 21:04:47 gateway proftpd[3292]: gateway.blah.de (192.168.101.201[192.168.101.201]) - FTP session opened.
Oct 23 21:04:47 gateway PAM_pwdb[3292]: (ftp) session opened for user ftp1 by (uid=0)
Oct 23 21:04:47 gateway proftpd[3292]: gateway.blah.de (192.168.101.201[192.168.101.201]) - ftp1: Directory /home/e-sm
ith/files/ibays/ftp1/files/ is not accessible.
Oct 23 21:04:47 gateway PAM_pwdb[3292]: (ftp) session closed for user ftp1

Quite irritating is: HTTP-access works fine. If I use a browser and surf to
http://gateway/ftp1/ from the same windows-notebook i get that login-box,
provide ftp1 as the user and 123 as the password and it works.

Can someone please help me with that?
I have no clue where I have to look at.

Thank you very much.

Addition: Loging in with a username of some user works.
But then I only have access to the users home directory.

Hi again,

it's a bit strange, but I tried this:

and it worked.

Dunno why but ...

Thanks for reading anyway.

Dear Snoop, I think I have also this problem. Maybe you can repost your solution, because the specified links is dead in the meantime.
