FTP user name & password not work when using FileZilla

Question

when I try to log in to FileZilla by using credentials that I created in FTP in an EC2/Lightsail (Ubuntu) instance, it was not connected. otherwise, I use a keypair, it will work.

Please give a reason and give a proper procedure for creating FTP Server by using an EC2/Lightsail.

Thank You in Advance

Answer

is it necessary for an SSL certificate configure vsftpd?

Answer

which package are you using for ftp on lightsail instance - vsftpd? or another 
please check the configuration first

for example if the package is vsftpd

```
Uncomment the line local_enable=YES to allow local users to log in.
Uncomment the line write_enable=YES to allow users to write to the server.
Uncomment the line chroot_local_user=YES to lock users in their home directories.
```

Answer

Thanks for your support.

Actually, I made a mistake when creating an instance. After making some changes in security groups, it works.

Did you activate FTP passive mode:  see https://support.tigertech.net/filezilla-passive

Answer

SSL is separate from userid/ password. If you're happy with the working keypair, you can skip this.
