FTP incorrect password error, no matter the user or the password.

  • Hi, i'm using OMV6 on a RK3588 SBC (aarch64).

    I've had this NAS for months but i haven't been able to use it as a file server EVER on OMV. I tried all the webDAV implementations an none of them feature more than 1GB file transfers somehow ???
    I was using SFTP (FTP over SSH) in the meantime, using filezilla, but this is far from what i want: a plug-and-play NAS to add on my devices to share files.
    I had avoided "vanilla" FTP because it was unsecure, until i recently found out that you can turn on TLS-exclusive FTP.
    So i setup the whole thing through the GUI, but when i go to try it, i cannot login using the test user. I follow along a tutorial on how to setup FTP and the shares, thinking that my original config was wrong, with no luck. I try creating new users, and none of them can login through FTP, but they can access the OMV dashboard.

    Here is a screenshot of the info filezilla sends out when connecting:

    Approved the thread.
  • I enabled the proftpd-plugin for testing, with required tls.

    Activated a share with permissions for user and ftp group and so on.

    I had to change the password to ASCII only.


    Filezilla works fine:

    But I prefer sftp. Why do you want to switch to ftps?

  • I don't want to use SFTP because i don't want to use SSH. I have an SSL certificate, so i want to use it.
    I have tried reinstalling this shitty plugin times and times again but nothing works, i think i'll just install proftpd by hand and configure it manually.

    The openmediavault-webdav plugin can increase the max upload by setting the client_max_body_size option in the extra options box or setting OMV_NGINX_SITE_WEBGUI_CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE environment variable.

    Reinstalling will just configure it same way each time. Using a supported version of OMV would help too. OMV 6 is EOL.

    i think i'll just install proftpd by hand and configure it manually.

    Do it and then report back where the bad config is.

    Please don't PM for support... Too many PMs!

  • I'm still working on the proftpd config, but for information i upgraded OMV to 7.7.12-2 (Sandworm) since the original post.

    I've also tried modifying the config, following tutorials and such on how to get it working, i didn't just reinstall it as is without trying. i just reinstalled it between my tries to avoid screwing myself if i ever did something wrong.
