I have the same problem. My password contains character
Ö (o umlaut) and it is impossible to log using SFTP and WinSCP. Logging using putty works fine, also changing the password to one containing only ASCII characters solved the problem. You should definitely have a look on it.

Thanks for your feedback. Will check it.

Hi Martin,
Many thanks for the reply and the great product.
I was just filtering the specific details (IP, domain etc) from the FileZilla logs so I can post them.
I noticed the following
The password I had set had a

I thought you might like to be aware and look into this for future reference.

I noticed the following
Response: 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
Command: USER username
Response: 331 Please specify the password.
Command: PASS *********
Response: 530 Login incorrect.
Status: Login data contains non-ASCII characters and server might not be UTF-8 aware. Trying local charset.
Command: USER username
Response: 331 Please specify the password.
Command: PASS *********
Response: 230 Login successful.
The password I had set had a
£ character at the end so perhaps WinSCP doesn't like this when communicating with the FTP server. It looks like FileZilla is slightly more intelligent with how it deals with this issue.
Anyway, I have changed the password and all is fine.

Re: Trouble logging into a vsFTPd server - Access denied. Login
Can you post a log file from Filezilla?

Trouble logging into a vsFTPd server - Access denied. Login
Hi,
We have an FTP server running vsFTPd 2.2.2 on Ubuntu and I'm trying to connect to it via WinSCP 4.3.5 (build 1463) but get an access denied. This is running on Windows 7 PC using the WinSCP GUI.
In the GUI I just get:
The username and password are ok as I can connect manually via cmd and Filezilla yet WinSCP doesn't like it... One thing to note is that I have remove listing permissions from the directory on the FTP server.
The 'username' user is in the default group which has write and execute permission but no read.
I'm providing the above information to see if WinSCP interacts in a strange way even though cmd and Filezilla work ok.
I've put the session in debug1 and debug2 modes but this doesn't really show anything different to the GUI. Here is the extract from the log file. I have changed some of the specific details.
Here is some information from the vsftpd.log file on the FTP server showing a successful connection from cmd and the unsuccessful connection from WinSCP.
Please let me know if there is anything you want me try or other information to provide.
Regards,
Adam
