Hello All,
I am trying to FTP my server as ROOT using pure-ftpd daemon. I get this error
530 Login authentication failed
ftp: Login failed.
while if i do FTP as other user, i successfully login. Any idea, what may be the issue
A ftp root login is a very bad idea anyway, and the ftp server is probably disallowing it to protect you from this bad idea.
Dear ken_yap,
This may be a bad idea, but yet i wish to go with this option. Any idea on how to enable root login
Sorry, I won’t help you with a bad idea.

Take a look into this thread:
permit root login
http://osdir.com/ml/network.pureftpd.user/2004-11/threads.html#00054
And yes, it’s a very bad idea to get this, even on a lan. I also
discourage you from setting up 
Don’t know what your requirements are (maybe if you explain, someone can
give you a better option), but always use an encrypted channel to send
sensitive passwords (and root’s one is possibly the most sensitive password
I can think).

I was looking for it as to just for testing purposes. So can you let me know?
