<li> ehcp installs and configures vsftpd to operate with mysql backend, so, if you had mysql before, and if you had some users before ehcp, then, you need to re-define those ftp users inside ehcp,
<li> because vsftpd in ehcp uses mysql backend, normal/standard vsftpd uses system users, your old users do not work with ehcp installed,
<li> if your old users have some files, you need also to move those files to new user folders
<li> new users folders are like /var/www/vhosts/ftpusername

Hello. I have the same problem. I was using my user's ftp with root privileges. And i'm using proftpd. How can I just restore my ftp account?

since ehcp re-defines ftp to be through mysql authentication,
your old ftp account will not work. and this is normal.

To restore it,
just re-define your account in your ehcp gui.
you will need to cary your files to new location by hand, in console,

your new ftp location will be something like:/var/www/vhosts/yourftpuser


after carrying your data to new location, issue following command in your new directory:

<code>cd /var/www/vhosts/yourftpuser
chown -Rf vsftpd *

It's working, but I can only work with the user dir. But I need to have access for whole server. As it was before EHCP installing. Can you help me with it?

ehcp install vsftpd, and new version of ehcp, uninstalls proftpd.

you cannot use 2 ftp server at same time
just uninstall it, still exists,
then,
add new ftp account in ehcp as i described here,above or below.

if you still have problem, describe your specific problem.

and, did you do a debug of your system? (http://ehcp.net/?q=node/771)

Now I'm creating some user (not under a domain) and throws me error 530 'Incorrect Login'. But I've checked the vhosts dir and there is my user dir.

check following:
<li> did you add new ftp user using ehcp gui, "add ftp" commands ? did that command finished without any error ?
<li> did you type, double check your password ?
<li> can you see that user in mysql, phpmyadmin, ehcp db, ftpaccounts table ?
<li> your system has only vsftpd installed ? do you have any other ftp servers ? to check, on command line: aptitude search ftp, on left of each package letter "i" indicates installed. look for proftpd, vsftpd, pureftp and so on. no other ftp server should be installed.
<li> did you debug your system using link I gave above? (http://ehcp.net/?q=node/771)

Answer is "yes" to all your question. Except this:
i ftp - The FTP client
i lftp - Sophisticated command-line FTP/HTTP client
i vsftpd - lightweight, efficient FTP server written

Should I remove them? I think that the problem is not with these clients.
