Kinda newbie here,
I have a server which uses vsftpd.
I changed the password of user 'aa' from the root account with 'passwd aa', which changed the SSH password for user 'aa', but not for his FTP account.
I can't seem to find much other info on changing a vsftpd password.
Any tips?

If your FTP server is using virtual users (check
local_enable
in the/etc/vsftpd.conf
file, seeman vsftpd.conf
), you may have alogin.txt
file under /etc/vsftpd/
, which is of the following form :In this case you have to edit it, then use the following command to update the DB :
(you may have to replace
db4.7_load
by your version ofdbXX_load
).
