Hi,

Ensure the ports 20 and 21 are opened. This is the ports requied for ftp.

With Regards,

Siva.

As the logs indicates, you CAN connect to the vsftpd daemon, but you cannot logon because you are trying to logon using the root account. The root access is diabled by default.

Is not recommended to enable the root access via ftp for security reasons, but if you want to do it, remove root from /etc/vsftpd/user_list (The user_list file may vary depending of your linux distribution, check the userlist_file option in vsftpd.conf)

UID 0 belongs to user root. You cannot use root account for ftp by default.
