Well thank you !
My question:
I want to login as root on my ftp-serive, but i cannot. The login is incorrect. What is to do to solve the problem
This behaviour is depending on your ftp-server, so it probably should be configured in sth like /etc/proftpd.conf You could also check /etc/ftpusers which holds users *NOT* allowed to log into the system through ftp. Apart from these indications, you should note that an ftp-connection passes the password as CLEARTEXT over the network, so anybody on the network can snoop for your pasword. don't do it, don't ftp as root. even more: don't use root at all (unless you really, really, really have to). - -- Groetjes vanwege...
