I finally got the Mina FTPServer up and running with the help of Femi (another user here).
so here's the issue:
I have the server setup for SQL based user management through db-user-manager on my Win2k3 server, and have two users set up in the table:
john // password
jim // password
Both of them are set to the following table properties:
userid userpassword homedirectory enableflag writepermission idletime uploadrate downloadrate maxloginnumber maxloginperip
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
john password c:\pub\john 1 0 30 1 NULL 5 3
jim password c:\pub\jim 1 0 30 1 NULL 5 3
And when logging in to the FTP server using the CORRECT user//password combo of john//password, the log shows this:
RECEIVED: USER john
SELECT userid, userpassword, homedirectory, enableflag, writepermission, idletime, uploadrate, downloadrate, maxloginnumber, maxloginperip FROM FTP_USER WHERE userid = 'john'
RECEIVED: PASS *****
SELECT userpassword FROM FTP_USER WHERE userid = 'john'
USER FAILED TO LOG IN
Login Failure - john
SENT: 331 user name okay, need password for john.
SENT: 530 authentication failed.
CLOSED
I KNOW for a fact that I didn't screw up entering the username or password (because they are too easy to screw up...), and the fact that I get prompted for the username and password tells me that the host I entered is correct... so where else could I be screwing up at...?
Here is a link to my original post that Femi helped me out in. it contains the xml config file if needed: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6711542/apache-mina-ftpserver-database-user-manager-failure
Can someone PLEASE help me?
