Can't login to ProFTPD

Hello:

I have been fighting with ProFTPD for a couple of days trying to setup FTP. I am able to connect and login withe the my user name but stalls a Retrieving directory listing.

I have created other users specifically for FTP under Virtualmin | [virtual.srv] | Edit Users | Add a user to this server OR Add a website FTP access user. When I use the newly created ftp.username, the following appears in the proftpd log:

FTP session opened.
USER ftp.username (Login failed): Invalid shell: ‘/bin/false’
FTP session closed.

This is what appeared in FileZilla:

Status: Connecting to 192.168.0.109:21…
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message…
Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Command: USER ftp.username
Response: 331 Password required for ftp.username
Command: PASS *********
Response: 530 Login incorrect.
Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server

I have noticed that my version (1.3.5e) of ProFTPD is not the most current (1.3.7). Will Webmin/Virtualmin push out an update eventually?

Thank you.

Either allow users to allow with such shells or change the shell for that user.
For the proftpd update, you need a repo which has a newer version than you are currently using.
