Thanks for the suggestion, Gilles. Alas, getting Security at the City to allow SSH out is like pulling teeth from a very hungry crocodile -- I'd like to avoid both. I'd totally prefer SSH, but it's not an option.<br>

Also check your userlist_* options in vsftpd.conf. If userlist_enable<br>
is YES, then make sure the login name you're using isn't in the<br>
user_list file (or is if userlist_deny=NO). You may want to check the<br>
PAM configuration as well, as it can add another layer, and another<br>
allow/deny list as it does on RHEL systems.<br>
<br>
You could also enable the dual_log_enable and syslog_enable options, as<br>
this may give you a bit more feedback in your logs to help get to the<br>
bottom of this.<br>
<br>
If all else fails, install/enable sshd and switch from FTP to SFTP. ;-)<br>
