Hello. I'm having trouble logging in to Lampp with FileZilla.
I'm running Lampp under Ubuntu 10.04.4.
I followed the instructions to install Lampp, and it seems to work fine. Same with FileZilla. I've run the FZ setup wizard and created a site with the FZ Site Manager. I've searched the web and the manuals, and haven't found an answer, so I hope somebody here can help me.

When I try to log in as follows,

Code: Select all

Host:  localhost
Username:  lampp
Password:  <password I created using "/opt/lampp/lampp security">
Port:  [blank]

FileZilla reports,

Code: Select all

Status:  Resolving address of localhost
Status:  Connecting to [::1]:21...
Status:  Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:  220 ProFTPD 1.3.2c Server (ProFTPD) [::1]
Command:  USER lampp
Response:  331 Password required for lampp
Command:  PASS ************
Response:  530 Login incorrect.
Error:  Critical error
Error:  Could not connect to server

Have I failed to do something? Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Jim Crutchfield

Just an update: I've tried to ftp into Lampp with MC (Midnight Commander) as well, and I have the same trouble. When I enter

Code: Select all

cd /#ftp:<user>:<password>@localhost/<database directory>

the program returns

Error
ftpfs: Login incorrect for user <user>

followed by

Error
Cannot chdir to "/#ftp:<user>:<password>@localhost/<database directory>"
Input/output error (5)

Anybody have an idea as to what's wrong?

Did you create a User account in FileZilla?
