user log in not working, only root works on FTP or SSH.
I have been able to log in as root but it won't let me log in as a user. Both users I created have unrestricted access so I'm not sure why it is not working. Thank you

Tough to say without knowing more. You could try connecting to the server verbosely -- this might give you some additional error output that could be useful:
$ ssh -vvv user@IP-ADDRESS
You could also check the /var/log/auth.log file to see if there's any information on why you can't log in.
Might also want to check out our guide on managing Linux Users and Groups -- there might be some relevant information in there.
