FTP User Password

What is the password for user ftp?

[Ron Olsen]

You can't login to VortexBox as user ftp. *The /etc/passwd entry is

ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:/sbin/nologin

You can use the passwd command (when logged in as root) to change the password for any user. See man passwd for info.

i know I can change the password, but I didn't know if that would mess up anything else that uses that user.

What do you need the password for?

I don't anymore. I thought I did.
