After creating a new FTP user I don't understand how to login through my FTP client.
Normally, when I log in through my FTP client I have to input:
Hostname: ftp.mydomain.com
Username: myusername
Connection: FTP
Password: mypassword
However, with the credentials given after creating the FTP user, I'm stumped on how to use them. I've tried to login but can't connect.
How do I connect?
Here's a screenshot of my credentials:
The screenshot says your username is "info@fillesmag", what exactly happens when you try that? Please tell us all error messages you receive. You might want to check the auth log and ProFTPD's logfiles under
/var/log
.Here is the login info I'm inputting. What am I doing wrong?:

I'm getting a server response "Login Incorrect" error in my FTP client. Also, it says that it is rejecting my password, but my password is correct. I even changed my password to test this.
Also, how do I access the logs? When I type:
sudo nano /var/log
into the command line, I get a blank screen.
Sorry, mixed something up there. The username is "info.fillesmag", not "info@fillesmag", as per your screenshot.
"/var/log" is a directory, "nano" is a text editor. You need to use "ls" on a directory and e.g. "cat" on files. I recommend the file manager "midnight commander" for Linux shells. See if the package "mc" is available for your distro.
