Are you logging in with the email adress and password registered for your Galaxy user acccount ? The authentication happens against the Galaxy database. Also keep an eye on your proftpd logs in case that wasn't the issue. On Fri, 1 Feb 2019 at 19:25, Rui Wang <ruiwang.sz@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Marius,
Thanks for the note. The link you pasted is how I came up with the config in the original question. However it doesn't work...it kept saying my password is incorrect. :-(
$ sftp -oKexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 -oPort=2222 bioinfoadmin@localhost bioinfoadmin@localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again. bioinfoadmin@localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again. bioinfoadmin@localhost's password:
Not sure why this would happen. :-( Have you seen this before?
Cheers, Rui

Hi Rui,
there's a fairly complete explanation and example in in https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/admin/special_topics/ftp.html
Hope that helps, Marius

Hey Folks,
I tried a few times with different configurations, but none worked. Did anyone have the successful experience that could share? :-)

Hey Folks,
I'm looking at the instructions of using ftp with proftpd. There is a section talking about extending it to use sftp. However, the sample config isn't comprehensive. I'm wondering if anyone has a working config for reference?
What's the setting of user and group? It says it should match the one in the SQLNamedQuery, what does it mean exactly? I start proftpd as root, but start galaxy as bioinfoadmin(normal user with sudo).
Just fyi, my proftpd config module and config file are pasted below. I'm working it out on a trial and error fashion, please feel free to point out if anything is wrong!
