Any suggestions as to what might have happened? /etc/ftpusers is actually the list of accounts that should be *denied* access via FTP. You don't want your UID in there if you want to use FTP.= Make sure the login shell for your account is mentioned in /etc/shells. Failing that, curse FTP as an archaic and inherently insecure protocol completely unsuitable for today's internet, and switch to using sftp(8) instead -- which has the look and feel of FTP, but which runs tunnelled over SSH.
