Hi
I have an installation of Virtualmin, I have created a virtual server and I have the website working, SMTP working but when I go to use a FTP Client. I am typing in the right information it brings up an error Password Incorrect.
I know the username and password is correct as I can login to virtualmin using the same username and password.
Is their anyone here that could help me work out why its not working.

Howdy,
Are you by chance using CentOS?
If so, what output does this command produce:
rpm -qa | grep proftp
Yes I am running CENTOS 6.4
The output I get when running the command is
proftpd-1.3.4a-1.el6.rf.x86_64

Aha, it looks like your ProFTPd package came from a third party repository, and isn’t the one installed when you perform the Virtualmin installation on a new CentOS install.
That particular package is known to cause the problem you’re describing – my recommendation would be to remove that, and reinstall the one that comes from the Virtualmin software repository.

How do I remove the particular package and reinstall the one that comes from the Virtualmin software repository.
As I am new to webmin / virtualmin and not sure of the correct procedure.
Matthew
First of all remove the existing proftpd
rpm -e --nodeps proftpd
Then install the proftpd from virtualmin repo
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=virtualmin install proftpd
