How to allow a user on FTP.

[concept]

Hi,

I'm kind of lost on how to allow a user to login via ftp. What I did was this:

1. I made a group homeftp
2. I make a user and added it to homeftp, made it's homedir to Webserver document root and nologin as shell.
3. Added this to /etc/ftpchroot: username /usr/local/www/folder

When I try to log in to ftp using those credentials, I'm still getting denied by the server.

This is actually an old machine which I installed with fbsd[/del FreeBSD so I'm still new at all of this. Thanks in advance.

nologin as shell forbids ftp login, try to set /bin/false or better restrict in sshd_config.
