i use this everytime i reinstall the os

yum -y install proftpd
nano /etc/shells
Add this line in /etc/shells file (sudo gedit /etc/shells to open the file) : /bin/false
useradd userftp -p 'mypass' -d /home -s /bin/false
passwd userftp
/etc/init.d/proftpd start

This is means your password is wrong. change it and try again.

i read before that if you want to add FTP user. you need to add new User account in LinuxOS and providing privileges to the account to login through FTP:21.

above are correct commands, try using your Root account.
