I'm running a Ubuntu Server 16.04
and had a vsftpd Server that i setup about two months ago with a tutorial (linked HERE). today i needed to add another user with sFTP access and did it in the same way. but now no user is working.



when i want to login i get:



myuser@myuser-Pc:~$ sftp sftpuser@mydomain
sftpuser@mydomain's password:
Connection to mydomain closed by remote host.
Connection closed


my /etc/vsftpd.conf file: https://pastebin.com/rM5rFvyk



my /etc/vsftp.userlist file:



mysftpuser
mysftpuser2


(All users are existing)



It also doesn't run when I remove the new user from the userlist
The /etc/vsftp.userlist looks like that then:
mysftpuser



I really need the FTP access, i hope someone here can help me.



Update



I fixed the problem. I tried if FTPs (not sFTP) is working on the users and yes it does work. But before I added the second user, sFTP also worked. Why does it not work now? (new question)

          Make sure all users are actually system users ( added via useradd or while system installation ).
