November 12, 2013 2k views I am experimenting with setting up an FTP account so that hosting clients can log in to upload files to their site. I have installed VSFTP, created a group and user and assigned the user's home directory to /home/name. When I try to FTP into the account using the username and password I get the following error: Error -203: miscellaneous error occurred while trying to login to the host Is this a problem with the VSFTP setup or with the why the user is set up in Apache? I changed the users home directory that I want them to have FTP access to using this command: usermod -d /home/name username Thanks!

New Pleskian 0 Messages: 7 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 0 Hi, Since yesterday I can't connect to any of my ftp clients. For months I could login to my FTP using Coda and Filezilla and everything worked until yesterday. Coda gives me this message: Error -203: miscellaneous error occurred while trying to login to the host Filezilla gives me this message: Antwoord:220 ProFTPD 1.3.5 Server (ProFTPD) [MYSERVERIP] Opdracht:USER username (username is my ftp username) Antwoord:550 SSL/TLS required on https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/ftp-error the control channel I have not changed anything on my server. Just out of the blue this errors appears and now my customers and I can't login anymore. I tried to restart the server, made a new ftp account, but nothing seems to resolve the problem... Does somebody knows what to do? I don't know if I can reinstall the ProFTPD https://talk.plesk.com/threads/could-not-connect-to-ftp.324495/ or need to open port 21? Any idea is welcome!

WinSCP translates the numerical codes to a textual description for you, so you do not have to remember them. The SFTP server should also ftp error provide a meaningful textual description of the error itself. WinSCP includes the server-side description in its error message, labeled "Error message from server". Such description can include more detailed information than WinSCP can possibly deduce from the numerical code. Code 4 (Failure) Codes List References Code 4 (Failure) Note that not all servers use all codes. Most SSH/SFTP servers, including the most commonly ftp error 203 used OpenSSH, support only SFTP version 3 that defines only codes 0 to 8. Advertisements: These servers would generally use code 4 (Failure) for many errors for which there is a specific code defined in the later versions of SFTP protocol, such as: Renaming a file to a name of already existing file. Creating a directory that already exists. Moving a remote file to a different filesystem (HDD). Uploading a file to a full filesystem (HDD). Exceeding a user disk quota. In this case the server is required to provide meaningful description of the error itself (see above). Unfortunately, OpenSSH SFTP server uses always description "Failure". Is such case, there is unfortunately no way to tell a reason of the failure.

Most others simply communicate the status of the connection. Here are brief explanations for the most common status and error codes. The list below are standard HTTP codes. Numbers outside this list are proprietary to the Server or Client that you are using. Error or Status Code Description 100 Series Informational - These status codes indicate a provisional response. The client should be prepared to receive one or more 1xx responses before receiving a regular response. 100 Continue. 101 Switching protocols. 200 Series Success - This class of status codes indicates that the server successfully accepted the client request. 200 The client request has succeeded. This status code indicates that the Web server has successfully processed the request. 201 Created. 202 Accepted. 203 Non-authoritative information. 204 No content. 205 Reset content. 206 Partial content. 300 Series Redirection - The client browser must take more action to fulfill the request. For example, the browser may have to request a different page on the server or repeat the request by using a proxy server. 302 Object moved. 304 Not modified. The client requests a document that is already in its cache and the document has not been modified since it was cached. The client uses the cached copy of the document, instead of downloading it from the server 307 Temporary redirect. 400 Series Client Error - An error occurs, and the client appears to be at fault. For example, the client may request a page that
