Anything in your SETPARMS.ARPA file?
Anything in your FTPUSERS.ARPA file?
Anything in your FTPACCES.ARPA file?

(Although these files would let your user get as far as a user prompt,
I'd think.)

It hit us the other day when one of our interal users (who only had a
Security/3000 password) couldn't use FTP because password is set to "ON"
in SETPARMS (defaulted somewhere ostensibly between any of the upgrades
between 6.5 and 7.5.)  Those of us who also had MPE passwords never
noticed because behavior never changed.
