[cobalt-users] strange FTP problem

["Hisham Al Saad" <ahisham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a strange FTP access problem. I have a Virtual Site hosted on Raq4r.
The owner wants to update his files using FTP. When I was testing his
problem I found these issues:-
When I connect from my workstation running W2k pro using WS-FTP , only main
admin can login successfully, but when I use site administrator id and
password it refuses and gives :-
230-
! Receive error:connection reset
! Logon failure:so quitting

I tried to ftp from the command prompt on my W2k PC and I got the same
problem, only main admin can ftp.

Now, when I ftp from another Linux or Unix machine to the Raq4 server,
everything works fine !!

proftpd.conf has the following configuration:
ServerName                      "ProFTPD"
ServerType                      inetd
DeferWelcome                    off
DefaultServer                   on
DefaultRoot                     / admin
DefaultRoot                     ~/../.. site-adm
DefaultRoot                     ~ !site-adm
DefaultChdir                    ../../web site-adm
Port                            21

  AllowOverwrite                on
</Directory>
 <Global>
   AllowChmod                    on
   TimesGMT                     off
 </Global>
<VirtualHost {raq4 IP address>
        DefaultRoot             / admin
        DefaultRoot             ~/../.. site-adm
        DefaultRoot             ~ !site-adm
        AllowOverwrite          on
        DisplayLogin            .ftphelp
</VirtualHost>


Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,
Hisham
