Here is the issue. Just a basic proftpd.conf file. proftpd is the user and group. Have a user that is a member of the group and cannot access as proftpd or as the user. Getting 530 Login incorrect errors when logging in.

Here is my proftpd.conf file....any ideas or suggestions would be great. I would like all users except a admin user(pheffer) to be jailed in the /var/ftp/pub directory. I would also like the users to be able to upload/download from that directory. I have chmod 770 on /var/ftp/pub.

ServerName pheffination.com
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
RequireValidShell off
DefaultRoot ~
Port 21
Umask 022
MaxInstances 30
User proftpd
Group proftpd
<Directory /*>
AllowOverwrite on
</Directory>

<Limit Login>
DenyGroup !proftpd
</Limit>

<Limit READ DIRS>
DenyGroup !proftpd
</Limit>

<Limit WRITE>
DenyGroup !pheffer
</Limit>

<Directory /var/ftp/pub/*>

<Limit WRITE>
AllowGroup proftpd
DenyAll
</Limit>

</Directory>
