Troubleshooting • Re: FTP server config for anonymous and remote access

Hello All,

I also tried sftp and it fails on password. I am expecting empty password for ftp user.

How to fix it?

Cheers,
Gert

sftp is a different program from ftp. sftp uses ssh as a client and sshd as a server to make the connection. ftp uses the client ftp and the server vsftpd.

Please confirm that you can connect from the console on the Pi running the vsftpd server?

knute@knute-XPS-8700:~$ ftp knute@localhost
Connected to localhost.
220 Welcome to Knute's XPS-8700 Desktop
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>

That's what a normal user login looks like. Try to get the to happen on your Pi first.
