FTP Account not working

[xevell]

Hey x10hosting Team!

I have created an ftp account to a specific directory on my account, and it shows, however when I try to login using that particular ftp account I get this

Status: Resolving address of xevic.net
Status: Connecting to 69.175.122.178:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response: 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------

Response: 220-Local time is now 12:25. Server port: 21.
Response: 220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
Response: 220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
Response: 220 You will be disconnected after 2 minutes of inactivity.
Command: USER text
Response: 331 User text OK. Password required
Command: PASS ******
Response: 530 Login authentication failed

So I am wondering why it isn't working? Do I have to do anything special?


Thanks in advance,
Vic.

which software/client you are using for this purpose?

By the look of that error, you entered the wrong password.

Note that you need to use the username/password combination you have for cPanel, which may differ from what you have for the forums.

You could also try updating the password through the account panel, which would update it for all instances: ftp, cpanel, forum etc.

I am using FileZilla for mac. I have no problem login in with my regular ftp account. However what I am looking at is creating a ftp account with a different password for a specific folder. And I did put the right information, I even went into the ftp account section on the cpanel and updated the password, also created another account with different information and still, it gives me the error I posted above.

Hello,

Please make sure you are using correct FTP username.

like my additional FTP username is zubair@zubairtech.info Only zubair will not work.

Oh, I see


It works the way Zubair mentioned.

My bad. I did not know that. I was just putting the everything else before the (at).


Thanks for the prompt reply and awesome support.
Appreciated.:smile:
