Ftp for dummies mac

This is a server on a university network with a public-facing IP. I even set up a new account, gave it access, tried connecting, and still get the 530 error. I tried restarting the service, removing and reassigning all the users and re-propagating permissions, no go. I've tried connecting with several accounts that I know have access to the FTP server and all get the 530 error.

We haven't used the FTP in a couple of months, but it worked perfectly back in February and I haven't made any changes to the configuration since I set it up back then.Ĭurrently, when someone tries to connect, it immediately rejects their credentials (username and password) and states: '530 error: username or password not correct'. One of the services running is FTP, which recently stopped allowing users to connect.
