unable to log into ftp server(pure-ftpd) with ssl/tls enabled
i am trying to log into ftp sever (pure-ftpd) using filezilla with ssl/tls enabled. problem that i have is whenever i try to log in with my valid credentials i.e provided username and the password,i am always getting a login authentication failed error.steps that i followed in filezilla ftp client are:
1.navigated to site manager
2.in the host and port textboxes i typed in the hostname and portnumber
3.under the protocol i selected the Ftp - File Transfer Protocol
4.logon type i selected to be Normal
5.under the encryption tab i selected Require Explicit FTP Over TLS
6. lastly provided the username and the password which to my knowledge is valid since other user's are using the same credentials.
when i connect a messagebox window pops up with the site certificate information i accepted that and then the following lines are from the filezilla output log window:
Status: Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

The issue has been open with live support for 6 or 7 days and they have no answer. I am using the host ip address. I found the post to your forum after a Google search. I appears that the problem was reported 6 years ago, but I am having the problem now.
