In trying to upgrade the security on my VPS, in proftpd.conf, I changed the setting "TLSRequired OFF" to "ON". Then restarted proFTPd.
Tried connecting with a few usernames, on which I changed their logins to "FTP with TSL/SSL"-protocol, but no connections were made anymore. Looked like no PW was being sent to the server.
The log-files didn't show any errors, just that the user made a connection, but no log-in.

Decided to turn off the TSLRequired-setting and let it all be as it was before for now.
But now, none of the usernames will connect with the 'regular ftp'-setting anymore. Connection tries encounter a time-out after a number of seconds.
Only time a log-in will seem to succeed now, is when I do change the login-protocol to "FTP with TLS/SSL" again, and change the username's PW in DA.

I'm trying to figure out what 'broke' in the process of turning "TLS/SSL" ON and OFF again?
Would a re-build of proFTPd fix anything?
