Permission denied error in Filezilla...?

Question

I'm working on setting up FTP on a server, and port 21 is open but it is giving me an error saying permission denied. The server is running CentOS 5, I have root permission on the server but I don't have physical access to the server...i'm still working on having it shipped to my home. Since I don't have physical access, I am trying to login with the servers IP address my root user name and password with no luck...can anyone help me?

Well, for FTP, you'll need port 21 open for the commands, but you'll also need to open a port range for the data ports.



But, that shouldn't cause the permission denied error. My guess is that you're trying to login as root, but the FTP daemon is configured to not allow the root user to login via FTP.



If you just need to transfer some files, just enable the SFTP subsystem in the SSHd configuration and use that. It's more secure since commands and file transfers are encrypted and you don't need another daemon running on the server that could be compromised.

Answer 3

have you ever tried purging this technique (it removes the config data). At a command line: sudo apt-get purge filezilla && sudo apt-get set up filezilla ^ this might purge filezilla, then reinstall it. If that doesn't paintings: sudo apt-get purge filezilla && sudo apt-get autoremove filezilla && sudo apt-get set up filezilla ^ This purges filezilla, uninstalls classes linked with it, then reinstalls filezilla. additionally evaluate this: sudo chown -R frankie /homestead/frankie/.filezilla
