I just installed vsftpd on my vps, I setup a root folder and added a user. But whenever I connect I get login password incorrect.
I changed the password many times but that did not help
sudo passwd myusername
I also checked if my username is present in /etc/passwd and it’s there.
I restarted both vsftpd and the machine. Nothing works.

Try this : <br> <br>In vsftpd.conf <br> <br>Make the following change : pam_service_name=ftp
@stefan: You have to move your site to /home/reddit/files if you want to chroot the user. <br> <br>mkdir /home/reddit/files <br>mv /home/reddit/* /home/reddit/files && mv /home/reddit/.* /home/reddit/files <br>chown root:root /home/reddit && chmod 755 /home/reddit <br> <br>Run these commands and you should be able to log in via ftp.
