Hello,
in older relases of Virtualmin (Debian) I didn’t have that problem.
I’ve just installed Virtualmin on a Debian 8, even the main user of a vhost cannot log into the ftp.
I followed these steps :
https://www.virtualmin.com/node/39547
I did the # virtualmin config-system --include ProFTPd
also I checked to No for this Proftpd > Authentication section “Only allow login by users with valid shell?”
The log file /var/log/proftpd doesn’t log anything
Version is : ProFTPD Version 1.3.5
I have Filezilla as client.
The error message is : Unable to make a Connexion
Thank you for your help.
UPDATE: I can only login using port 22, how to enable connection on port 21?
