Not able to login to FTP accounts using root password

Issue :

Was able to login to all FTP accounts using the root password earlier but now it doesn’t seem to work. Where to check that?

Solution :
1) You Go to WHM >> Main >> Service Configuration >> FTP Server Configuration.

2) At the bottom of the page, you’ll find an option as ‘Allow Logins with Root Password’

3) Make sure that it is set to ‘Yes’ and Save the settings.

This should resolve the issue.

FTP stands for file transfer protocol, and along with telnet and SMTP is one of the oldest protocols still in common use on the Internet. ProFTPD generally uses a single configuration file, found at /etc/proftpd.conf. This file is made up of directives, each of which usually occupies a single line and has a name and value.
