Yes, it's easy to use and really powerful
Yes, but i won't use it
No, the GUI has to be improved

I prefer pureftpd over this one any day.

Oh, man, this is driving me crazy!
I've been working on this for days, poring over this thread, and any related ones I could find.
I have a router, with a dynamic IP. I've assigned it a name from dyndns.com (gaygoyle.homelinux.org), and set up the router to automatically update.
I've set up the FTP user (ftp1) in "Users & Groups". I have the shell set to /bin/false.
I have port 1980 forwarded, as well as ports 60000-65535. I made sure that I had the proper IP for the machine that the ports were being forwarded to.
Also, I have the ftp directory (/home/ftp1) permissions set to 755.
Still, when I try to log in, both with the DynDNS address and the IP number, I get "connection refused". I'm using gFTP for the client. I tried this website, too, and got a more verbose error:
Here's my proftpd.conf:Code:* About to connect() to gargoyle.homelinux.org port 1980 * Trying 98.237.xxx.xxx... connected * Connected to gargoyle.homelinux.org (98.237.xxx.xxx) port 1980 < 500 FTP server shut down (Tue Jun 16 09:29:22 2009 , Current connections will be dropped: Tue Jun 16 09:19:22 2009) -- please try again later * This doesn't seem like a nice ftp-server response * Closing connection #0

First thing try to set first your server on port 21 as it is often easier on he firewal side. BTW, do you run any firewall on your computer ?
Then to make it easier your can put AuthAliasOnly to off and then try to login directly with the username (i guess this won't really help but ...)
If you haven't set on thne you should not have any. Are you trying to log in from the computer that runs the server ?
If not it is the thing to try to exclude any network config issue.
Remove your /etc/shutmsg file and try again (i mean restart the server with /etc/init.d/proftp restart). If it still doesn't work re-install proftpd.
OK, this seems to be getting somewhere.
Now, I get this error:
I uninstalled and re-installed proftpd, which changed nothing. I changed the password for ftp1 in the Users & Groups control panel, and the command line. Still getting this error.Code:* About to connect() to gargoyle.homelinux.org port 21 * Trying 98.237.xxx.xxx... connected * Connected to gargoyle.homelinux.org (98.237.xxx.xxx) port 21 < 220 you're at home > USER ftp1 < 331 Password required for ftp1 > PASS ***** < 530 Login incorrect. * Access denied: 530 * Closing connection #0
Perform a search in the thread with "530 error" as keyword and you should find the information you need.
It is the most common error setting proftpd, nothing serious, either your password has not been set correctly either your are using wrong username (e.g. using user name when alias is expected).
