!!CrushFTP4 upgrade troubleshooting tips.
v4 has a bit of a mess on its user connection groups. So when you look in the folder "users" you see MainUsers, lookup_21, lookup_80, etc.
Figure out which ones are correct. MainUsers is the default location since v5. But you can use the other named folders just fine too.
In the prefs, on the tab with the list of ports, down at the bottom is a list of the user connection groups. Remove or add them as appropriate to match up with the real ones you have based on the folder names in the users folder.
Then on each port, check to see what user connection group they are configured for. Assign them appropriately.
If you haven't done this then logins may fail when you start using CrushFTP8 as it can't find the users since they aren't associated to the port you are using.
