I have added myself a private ssh account and disabled ssh login directly as root(making it so only users in the wheel group can login then su to root). It seems that manually adding the account this way prevents me from ftping with that particular username.

Anyone else have this problem?


If you didn't get what I am saying, I am adding an account outside of cpanel, and doing so does not allow ftp, does the ftp cpanel sets up not use the normal syntax to decide who is allowed ftp access(/etc/passwd)?
