Cannot login via FTP


Hello all,

I am trying to login to RedHat 6.2 server via ftp but it is denying with the following error;

530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

Redhat server is running with firewall (ipchains) and squid. I can login with telnet with the same account name and password.

What login do you use ? root ? root is by default listed in /etc/ftpusers (list of users that are denied FTP access). If you use another user check first if it is listed in /etc/ftpusers.

No it is not listed in ftpusers and this was working for all the users fine until yesterday. Suddenly it is not working.
Is it only specific users? or all?

It is for all the users, I did even create a new user to check but still no luck.
Did you do a upgrade?  within ntsysv is FTP access activated, within /etc/hosts.allow is access activated?

Nope, I have not done any upgrade and hosts.allow file is blank and there is no any entry.

I have reinstalled FTP and it is working fine. But still I am confused, why it was not working?
