I setup ftp access on my DNS-321. I created two users and put them both in the 'staff' group. Then I added the 'staff' group to the ftp with read only access.
when I try to connect with the user/password, I get "Login authentication Failed" even though the username and password is copied and pasted exactly from the setup on the DNS-321.
If I enable access for 'all users' (which appears to be code for 'anonymous') then the access works.
If I remove the user form the group and add it specifically, it still does not work.
The password is nothing special (purely alpha numeric). The users created in the ftp panel are not accessible via ssh, so I can't check or redo the passwords there. The password is 5 characters long (as specified in the interface, passwords must be 5 characters long). I tried an 8 character password, but still failed to get logged in.
If it matters, I am logging in to the ftp via ncftp ftp://user:password@ipaddress:port/

I looked at the pure-ftpd.conf file, but didn't see anything that seemed out of sorts, though I am wondering if I can change the ClientCharset to UTF-8?
