    Hi,

    could you please provide some log entries from vsFTPd?
  • i am not sure how to go to this log entries ...?
  • RomanRoman Member
    You should be able to see all log files under the /var/log catalog in the VPS. Just login with root and type:

    cd /var/log

    then

    ls

    if you see FTP service log file, then execute:

    cat file_name.log

    and paste results here.
  • alternatives.log fsck
    apache2 lastlog
    apt mail.log
    auth.log mail.log.1
    auth.log.1 mysql
    btmp syslog
    dbconfig-common syslog.1
    dmesg syslog.2.gz
    dpkg.log syslog.3.gz
    faillog syslog.4.gz

    Hi Greg,

    Please contact our support department and we will provide help for you. It will require us to login to your server.

    Thanks
  • In case anyone was wondering, some Openvz templates include forced ciphers in the default sshd_config file that breaks a lot of SFTP clients, like Filezilla, from working.

    Doubt that was the issue here if vsftpd was broken too though
