[SOLVED] Cannot login to ftp

[kilburn]

As there's no connection attempt shown in the ProFTPD log, your problem should be related to a networking problem. Do you have any firewall that may be blocking the connection?

Another thing that you can try to ensure that it's a firewall/network issue is to stop the proftpd daemon, launch "nc -l -p21" and then try to login again. If the terminal running "nc" displays some things (basically the commands issued by the ftp client), then it's *not* a connectivity issue. Otherwise it is and you should check your firewalls / virtual machine NAT configuration / whatever.
