I have problems with my ftp server.

I installed pure-ftpd server but maybe something went wrong since I cannot connect through ftp.

Code: 
Connected to my.ftp.server.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 09:12. Server port: 21.
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
331 User user OK. Password required
Password:
530 Login authentication failed
ftp: Login failed.
ftp>

and I'm sure I gave the right psw

Code: 
# pkg_info pure-ftpd
pkg_info: can't find package 'pure-ftpd' installed or in a file!
and
Code: 
# ps ax
.
.
.
21286  ??  Is     0:00.02 pure-ftpd (SERVER) (pure-ftpd)

how can I fix this problem? where is the problem?

PS
I also try
Code: 
$ ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.

Try this:
Code: 
pkg_info | grep pure
Also double-check the config file (if you use one) or the command used when you start your ftp server. I think you have something misconfigured there.

The README says:
Unlike many daemons, Pure-FTPd doesn't read any configuration file (but for
LDAP and SQL). Instead, it uses command-line options.
...
If you want to use a configuration file with Pure-FTPd, you can, through
a wrapper. That wrapper will parse a file and convert it to command-line
options. Then, the server will be started with these options.

Please have a look at the 'configuration-files' directory. Copy the sample
configuration file called 'pure-ftpd.conf' to a suitable location, say /etc...

Me too but I don't find any configuration file. Don't know where to search.

and
Code: 
pkg_info | grep pure
pure-ftpd-1.0.21_2  A small, easy to set up, fast and very secure FTP server

at least how can I deinstall and install again?
 
the configuration file should be located in /usr/local/etc/

If you run pure-config.pl /path/to/your/config it doesn't really matter where you put the configuration file, i guess, but you're right, when installed from ports the config file goes there.
 
I can be wrong but pure-ftpd can refuse login if something wrong with ftp folder ( does not exists / wrong permitions )
for more information check pure-ftpd's log

PS. From the beginning all pure-ftpd's setting passed as command line parameters, and all so-called config files are just merely hacks / parsers.
 
Thanks guys!
I deinstall pure-ftpd and install it again.

How can I automatically run the server when the system boots?

In pure-ftpd documentation says:
add the command

/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd &

to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/boot.local . Don't forget the '&' sign.

but I don't have /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/boot.local

thanks

Most (ok, many) FreeBSD ports use a variable in /etc/rc.conf file of the form portname_enable="YES" to enable the port. Coupled with a startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, the port will be started when FreeBSD starts up.
For pureftpd, I believe the needed entry in /etc/rc.conf is:
pureftpd_enable="YES"

Hope this helps.
Oh, one more thing: you can usually run
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/scriptname rcvar
to find out which variables a script supports.
 
here what I have in /usr/local/etc/rc.d:
Code: 
# ls /usr/local/etc/rc.d
020named.sh             courier-imap-imapd-ssl  postgresql
040exim.sh              courier-imap-pop3d      proftpd
050proftpd.sh           courier-imap-pop3d-ssl  pure-authd.sh
080cpanel4.sh           dovecot                 pure-ftpd
090chkservd.sh          exim                    rsyncd
apache22                htcacheclean            stunnel
chkservd.sh             httpd                   webmin
I did:
Code: 
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pure-ftpd rcvar
# pureftpd
$pureftpd_enable=YES

and I add in
/etc/rc.conf

pureftpd_enable="YES"

but after rebooting the server still not start
 
The /etc/rc.conf edit you made has no effect unless you've also written, or otherwise have, an extended application startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ similar to:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: pureftpd
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING SERVERS
# BEFORE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown

#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable pure-ftpd:
#
# pureftpd_enable="YES"
#
# For launch uploadscript daemon define
# pureftpd_upload_enable="YES"
# pureftpd_uploadscript="/full/path/to/launch_script"
#

. /etc/rc.subr

name=pureftpd
