DNF ftp curl login denied

Hello.

Using Oracle Linux 8.8

I am installing a local repository using vsftpd-3.0.3-35 from the distribution.

I am using dnf-4.7.0-16.0.1 from the distribution.

Symptom(s)

dnf repolist

there is no status column in the output

dnf install <application>

curl error (67): log in denied for ftp://127.0.0.1/pub/oracle8-8dvd/repodata/repomd.xml [Access denied: 530]

Using curl directly

curl -v -u root:password ftp://127.0.0.1//var/ftp/pub/oracle8-8dvd/repodata/repomd.xml"

returns repomd.xml

dnf.log shows the results of python script errors because of the download failure.

I am in an environment that does not allow direct access to yum repositories.
