In a default configuration, there is no separate FTP password: all the standard services use the system password.

If the password system is in factory default configuration, it uses "classic" Unix password system. That stores only the first 8 characters of the password. Some login methods may ignore the extra characters, some won't. If your password is longer than 8 characters, try typing only the first 8 characters in the FTP password prompt.

Check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. The ftp daemon logs all errors in detail. You probably need to add the user's shell in /etc/shells.

Hi Philemon,

There is no seperate password for ftp.

Due to security reasons your server administrator might have blocked ftp services.

check and confirm that the ftp entry was not commented in /etc/inetd.conf

Or else try to login with sftp.

No , Seprate password for ftp services.

Please check as per below

Check ftp or sftp ? enabled in the Server?

if other's (User accounts) ftp/sftp no problem . than pls check with ur SysAdmin.
