FTP Problem - limited access denies login

[dhub]

I could not open FTP connect to Plesk server. A check on the server log - /var/log/secure, there is a message:

USER xxxx (Login failed): Limit access denies login


What could be the problem? ProFTPD is started.

Recently have just upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1. But I don't think has anything to do with the upgrade.

Plesk 8.1.0/Virtuozzo
FC4 x86-64

Managed to fix the problem!

It is due to a setting in /etc/proftpd.conf. This was a new Plesk 8.0.1 installation and the default setting :

<Limit LOGIN>
AllowGroup ftpusers
DenyAll
</Limit>


Just remove the line DenyAll and it works.

Not sure why this is the default setting. Note this for new installation of Plesk 8.0.1.
