When you change the password in directadmin it is supposed to update the ftp password as well. If not then you are missing lines in /etc/proftpd.conf.

Make sure your /etc/proftpd.conf has the line:

AuthUserFile                    /etc/proftpd.passwd

 

[w31rd0]

that line is there

AuthUserFile /etc/proftpd.passwd
DefaultServer on
AuthOrder mod_auth_file.c

Then you will have to stop proftpd in directadmin.

Then start it on the shell with:

proftpd -X

That way you can get more information on what is happening.
