I installed a ftp server, Proftp on a developing virtual system. It is on Centos 6 64bit. Install Proftpd with yum command.
When I use ftp client software to connect the ftp server, I got following error.
Response: 220 FTP Server ready.
Command: USER davidyin
Response: 331 Password required for davidyin
Command: PASS ******
Response: 530 Login incorrect.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server
I checked the error log file and saw the following error message.

It is confused me so much and at the last I found the problem.
The reason I get the errors with the home dirs is because of selinux
I have to disable it and everything is OK now.
setenforce 0
