Hi Geoff, I encountered the same issue configuring proftpd - thanks for mentioning this issue. Would you mind sharing how you exactly solved the issue with the uid/gid of the galaxy user? I want not to change the uid/gid of this user as it is the same on other machines here.

As luck would have it, the moment I throw in the towel the answer becomes obvious to me. The uid/gid for my galaxy user was below 999 and getting bumped up to 65535 by the SQL authentication, so the user FTP directory was getting that uid/gid, was not writeable and it'd bomb out. Works now. On Wed, 9 Feb 2011, Geoff Jentry wrote:
This is probably more appropriate for the proftpd list at this point, but my thought is that maybe someone has come across this while configuring a proftpd server for galaxy usage. I'm including my current output when I try to log on, a copy of my conf file, and output from the SQL log (in all three cases, with identifying info removed - users, hosts, IPs, etc).
You can see from the SQL Log that it appears the log in is actually successful, but then the connection simply closes the connection. Any ideas as to what I've got configured incorrectly here?
