I installed XAMPP and the Apache server works fine. Permissions for read & write are set correctly and hosted websites run perfectly.
As I work from different machines, I configured the ProFTP, too. It is running but a cannot login.

I set the directory to the same directory the Apache server uses. I can see the files in the browser, wenn I enter the XAMPPS machine's IP.

Checked with XAMPP security tool that the standard user is still daemon and the password is xampp

I can enter with cyberduck, but when I use the credentials for my user or the deamon user I will always get a 503. Any ideas what I can do? There seems no way to use ftp from terminal as it is not available for OSX 10.16.

Login fehlgeschlagen. 530 Login incorrect

Any idea, how I can check what's going wrong? I would use any other method than cyberduck but don't know what so far... as terminal does not support ftp anymore.

Best, Hirsch

The ProFTP conig:

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to 
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "daemon" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

ServerName "ProFTPD"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask 022

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)
MaxInstances 30

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User daemon
Group admin

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory /Volumes/Projekte/18_HTML_Testdateien*>
 AllowOverwrite on
</Directory>

# only for the web servers content
DefaultRoot /Volumes/Projekte/18_HTML_Testdateien

<Limit SITE_CHMOD> 
 DenyAll 
</Limit> 

# daemon gets the password "xampp"
UserPassword daemon 2TgxE8g184G9c

# daemon is no normal user so we have to allow users with no real shell
RequireValidShell off

# daemon may be in /etc/ftpusers so we also have to ignore this file
#to login with "OSX Users"
AuthPAM on
AuthPAMConfig ftpd
UseFtpUsers off

The security check:

XAMPP: Quick security check...
XAMPP: MySQL is not accessable via network. Good.
XAMPP: MySQL has to run before I can check the security.
XAMPP: MySQL has to run before I can check the security.
XAMPP: MySQL has a root passwort set. Fine! :)
XAMPP: The FTP password for user 'daemon' is still set to 'xampp'. 
XAMPP: Do you want to change the password? [ja] nein
XAMPP: Done.
