Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2004 12:31:47 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have this very strange problem. I am runing proftpd in standalone mode as a service registered with cugrunsrv. The service starts and runs fine when I reboot the system. However I have found that I cannot login to through ftp unless I am running a shell in cygwin. If the shell isn't runnning I get the following: Status: Connecting to localhost ... Status: Connected with localhost. Waiting for welcome message... Response: 220 ProFTPD 1.2.9 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [my_computer]Command: USER my_win_username Response: 331 Password required for my_win_username. Command: PASS ******* Response: 530 Login incorrect. Error: Unable to connect! Now if I run cygwin then I can log in appropriately with now problems. I would like to be able to use proftpd without having a user logged on to the system at all. Any help woud be greatly appreciated. ** I am using the default basic configuration file for proftpd -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
