Cannot get access to the FTP with authentication error
« on: January 10, 2014, 10:53:17 pm »
while we connecting to ftp get error like this
Code: [Select]
Status: Resolving address of www.alise.com
Status: Connecting to 10.10.10.10:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:       220 Microsoft FTP Service

Response:       331 Password required
Command:        PASS ********
Response:       530 User cannot log in.
Error:  Critical error
Error:  Could not connect to server

When we check the ftp log file we could find error like below:
2013-12-04 16:05:11 91.204.25.4 - FTPSVC6 SERVER_HOSTNAME - 10.10.10.10 21 USER user 331 0 0 23 20 0

The error is because of Plesk Server is connected to Active Directory domain, we need to use full 'username' with 'servername' prefix.
Use 'servername\login' format as FTP username:
C:\Users\parallels>ftp 10.10.10.10
Connected to 10.10.10.10.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (10.10.10.10:(none)): server_hostname\user

230 User logged in.
